Abstract
I will present recent results on Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors for UVOIR photon detection. MKIDs measure the energy and arrival time of incoming photons without read noise or dark current, making them effectively an integral field spectrograph on a chip. Arrays of up to 20 kpix are now under construction for deployment at astronomical observatories around the world.
