Abstract

Many talks in this conference have shown the power of high resolution spectroscopy, coupled to high precision. A new spectrograph, fed by an Extremely Large Telescope, will have such a huge collecting power that it will allow for the first time some outstanding applications. We argue here that such a new instrument should therefore aim at the highest long term stability and precision. High resolution and high accuracy need photons; the ELTs will give us a tremendous opportunity, and we shall make use of it.
