Schwartz 1 1 Astronomical Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Tatranská Lomnica, Slovakia; 2 High Altitude Observatory, The National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, USA The Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter for Slovakia (CoMP-S) has been installed at Lomnický Peak Observatory of the Astronomical Institute of SAS in The instrument was designed and manufactured by HAO/NCAR (Boulder, USA) with a tunable Lyot filter and polarimeter for visible and near IR spectral regions. This instrument is proposed for coronagraphic observations of magnetic and velocity fields in the solar corona and in prominences. A fundamental upgrade of this instrument has been done with pair of cameras sensitive in the near IR spectral region. This upgrade is being incorporated to the instrument in course of the year In this contribution the technical parameters of the final configuration the CoMP-S instrument containing four cameras, covering both visible and near IR spectral regions, are described. We also present a potential of the CoMP-S instrument for coronagraphic spectro-polarimetric observations of the solar corona and prominences with a capability for sequential measurements of the spectral profiles of all prominent emission lines in spectral region from 500 to 1100 nm.
