The TESIS is a set of solar imaging instruments developed by the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Science, and launched aboard the Russian spacecraft CORONAS-PHOTON in January 30, 2009. The main goal of the TESIS is to provide complex observations of solar active phenomena from the transition region to the inner and outer solar corona with high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution in the EUV and Soft X-ray spectral bands.
The TESIS includes five unique space instruments to observe the inner and outer solar corona from 0.2 to 4 solar radii in spectral band 290-320 A. With the advanced capabilities of its instruments, the TESIS will help better understand the physics of solar flares and high-energy phenomena and provide new data on parameters of solar plasma in the temperature range 105 - 107 K.
The TESIS experiment started in the deep minimun between the 23rd and the 24th cycles of solar activity and planned to continue through all the razing phase of new cycle till 2012-1013.
TESIS main tasks
The study of mechanisms of solar wind generation and coronal heating.
The development of methods for space weather forecasting.
The study of the production and evolution of high-temperature plasmas in the corona.
The analysis of processes of magnetic energy accumulation and release before and during flares.

The MISH is an imaging spectroheliometer for the registration of monochromatic images of the Sun in the narrow spectral region, which covers a resonance doublet of the H-like ion MgXII with wavelengths 8.418 and 8.423 A.
The spectroheliometer consists of the following optical elements:
entrance window with shutter;
filter;
focusing bent quartz crystal mirror;
detector (CCD).
Optical scheme of the MISH is based on the Bragg's X-ray diffraction with the almost normal incidence (Bragg's angle is 82o.08). The X-ray radiation is focused on the CCD detector of 2048×2048 pixels by a bent spherical mirror made from quartz [1010] crystal. The blocking of visible light is provided with two filters - at the entrance window (aluminated mylar) and aluminium filter coated on the CCD.
The angular size of a CCD pixel is on the order of 2 arc. sec. The MISH field of view is equal to 1o.15 and covers the sun and above-limb regions with the aim to observe high-altitude hot structures in the corona. This will allow to investigate not only hot plasma near the solar limb, but also hot structures at high altitudes.
Thanks to the partial field of view mode, long-term high-cadence (less than 10 s) observations are also possible.
The MISH spectroheliometer is the only instrument registering images of hot coronal plasma with temperatures about 10 MK.

The EUSH is an imaging spectroheliometer operating in the band 280-330 A. This covers HeII, SiIX, SiXI, FeXII-FeXVII, MgVIII, NiXVIII, CaXVIII, AlIX, FeXXII and other spectral lines formed at temperatures from 5*104 to 2.0*107 K.
The spectroheliometer consists of the following optical elements:
filter;
diffraction grating;
multilayer parabolic mirror;
detector (CCD)
The optical layout of the EUSH includes plane objective diffraction grating and a normal incidence parabolic mirror. The visible light is blocked by a thin-film filters: the pre-filter installed at the entrance window and the second coated on the 2048x2048 backside-CCD.
The EUSH is aimed at multi-wavelength spectroscopic diagnostics of coronal plasma (density, temperature, differential emission measure). In contrast to slit spectrometers, which register only the small area of the Sun, the EUSH enables us to carry out detailed diagnostics of isoleted phenomena in the whole solar atmosphere. The angular resolution of the spectroheliometer depends on the direction. Perpendicular to dispersion (Y-axis of the image), the resolution is about 4.4 arc. sec. Alogn the dispersion (X-axis), the images will be compressed by factor of ~ 20. This compression allows separation of the images of the Sun obtained in different spectral lines. Angular resolution along this direction will be ~ 1.5 arc. min.

The FET includes two normal-incidence Hershel telescopes with multilayer mirrors.
The telescopes consist of the following optical elements:
entrance window with shutter;
filter;
artificial moon (telescope 2);
multilayer mirror;
detector (CCD);
The first telescope operates in the 130-136 A spectral region with FeXX 132.84 A and FeXXIII 132.91 A lines. The images obtained by the telescope will provide data on spatial distribution and dynamics of very hot coronal plasma with temperature higher than 107 K.
The second telescope covers the 290-320 A spectral region centered at the HeII 303.8 A line. Intense emission in the HeII 303.8 A line is mainly produced in the transition layer with a temperature lower than 105 K.
The telescopes may operate simultaneously or in a sequence depending on the operating mode.
In both instruments, the Sun's image is formed by parabolic mirrors with multilayer coatings. Visible light is blocked by thin-film pre-filers placed after the entrance window at the front panel and by similar filters coated on the CCD surfaces. The enctrance window of HeII-telescope is equipped with an artificial moon. This allows us to observe the corona from 0.2 to 4 solar radii by inclining the mirror with a pointing and focusing mechanism.
The image detectors of the FET are backside-CCDs of 2048x2048 pixels. The fields of view cover the hole Sun. The angular resolution of both telescopes is on the order of 1.7 arc. sec./pixel. The temporal resolution depends on the operating mode: for full frame images it is 10 seconds, while partial-frame images may be registered with up to 1 second time resolution
Solar EUV Coronograph (SEC)
Instrument
Coronograph based on Ritchey-Chretien telescope
Spectral range
290 - 320 А
Focal length
600 mm
Aperture
Circular diameter 85 mm (outer) and 25 mm (inner)
Field of view

Detector
Backside CCD 2048*2048 pixels

The SEC is a solar coronograph based on the Ritchey-Chretien scheme. The SEC operates in the spectral band 290 A centered at the lines SiXI 303.3 A and Hell 303.8 A. Its field of view is 2.5o covering the inner and outer corona through from solar limb from 0.7 to 4 solar radii.
The SEC consists of the following optical elements:
filters
primary mirror
secondary mirror
detector (CCD)
The optical system of the SEC includes two mirrors, primary and secondary ones, which reflect and focus EUV emission on the image detector - the backside CCD of 2048x2048 pixels. The optical radiation of the sun is suppressed by an aluminum thin-film pre-filter in the exntrance window of Ritchey-Chretien objective. The second filter is coated on the CCD surface. The intense EUV emission of the solar disk is reduced with an occulting mask coated on the surface of the CCD.
