AB: In this talk I will demonstrate how high resolution extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) and/or X-ray imaging spectroscopy can be used to provide unique information for solving several current key problems of the solar atmosphere, e.g., the morphology and reconnection site of solar flares, the structure of the transition region, and coronal heating. I will describe the spectra that already exist relevant to these problems and what the shortcomings of the data are, and how an instrument such as the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on Solar-B as well as other proposed spectroscopy missions such as NEXUS and RAM will improve on the existing observations. I will discuss a few particularly interesting properties of the spectra and atomic data for highly ionized atoms that are important for the science problems.
