Abstract
In this paper we describe the impact that instrument design can have on the overall performance of the Gemini Telescopes. We discuss the interaction between the instruments and some of the other telescope facilities such as A&G and Adaptive Optics. We also briefly describe the instruments that have been proposed for delivery during the construction phase of the project and list some of their features.
