The EIS spectral images are not exactly aligned relative to the CCD and, for the SW band, images at shorter wavelengths are slightly higher on the CCD compared to longer wavelengths. The effect is small and, for example, for the Fe XII 186.88 and 195.12 lines it's less than 1 pixel. The effect is caused by the dispersion axis of the grating not being exactly aligned with the CCD axis and we refer to it here as the "grating tilt". This is different to the "slit tilt" which arises from a misaligment of the EIS slits relative to the CCD.
