A new 3rd generation light source (NSLS-II project) is in the early stage of construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The NSLS-II facility will provide ultra high brightness and flux with exceptional beam stability. It presents several challenges in the diagnostics and instrumentation, related to the extremely small emittance. In this paper, we present an overview of all planned instrumentation systems, results from research & development activities; and then focus on other challenging aspects.
