Abstract
MICADO, a first light ELT instrument, will provide diffraction limited imaging, astrometry, high contrast imaging, and slit spectroscopy. It will achieve an unprecedented combination of sensitivity and resolution at near-infrared wavelengths using its own SCAO system as well as the LGS-MCAO module MAORY. This contribution describes MICADO at its Final Design Review, explaining how the instrument was developed to fulfil the science and technical requirements, as well as meet the operational and maintenance requirements. Some thoughts about the dramatic difference between ELT and VLT projects are presented, and what this might mean for future instrumentation.
