Abstract: | The Spectro-Polarimeter for Infrared and Optical Regions (SPINOR) is a new spectro-polarimeter that will serve as a facility
instrument for the Dunn Solar Telescope at the National Solar Observatory. This instrument is capable of achromatic polarimetry
over a very broad range of wavelengths, from 430 to 1600 nm, allowing for the simultaneous observation of several visible
and infrared spectral regions with full Stokes polarimetry. Another key feature of the design is its flexibility to observe
virtually any combination of spectral lines, limited only by practical considerations (e.g., the number of detectors available, space on the optical bench, etc.).
