The Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) was the first of a new class of helio- spheric and astronomical white-light imager. A heliospheric imager operates in a fashion similar to coronagraphs, in that it observes solar photospheric white light that has been Thomson scattered by free electrons in the solar wind plasma.
