... NICS will be the only infrared instrument for the first light of the TNG; as a consequence, we decided to incorporate a sufficient degree of operation flexibility by providing the instrument with six different observing modes, three aimed at imaging and three at spectroscopy: . ... It will be possible to use the narrow band filters as order sorters; this will allow to perform high resolution long-slit spectroscopy in the wavelength ranges covered by the available narrow band filters. ...

... The choice of the spectrograph design (Fig.2) is determined by the quantity R, the overall dimensions of the PF cage and the restrictions on the rigidity of the structure of the device. ... As the camera's objective a fast 4-lens aplanat is used having a focal distance F cam =140 mm and a relative aperture of 1:1.8, the resolution at the centre is no less than 80 gr/mm, that over the field at a distance of 3 mm from the edge along the frame ( ) diagonal is 35 gr/mm. ...
