A complex electrostatic-magnetic probe diagnostics, baptized as 'U-probe', is being prepared for measurement of properties of the filamentary structures in the edge plasmas of COMPASS tokamak. Probe will be composed of two identical towers. Each tower will house 3 sets of 3D coils, balanced triple probe and six single Langmuir probes each. The design of the probe is based on that of U-probe used on reversed field pinch RFX-mod and our combined electromagnetic probe at TJ-II stellarator. This new COMPASS diagnostic will measure vorticity and longitudial electric current of the plasma filaments. Analysis of the properties and, particularly, the correlation between filament vorticity and its current is expected to shed light into physics of filamentary structures in the tokamak plasma edge. The simulation of the probe surface temperature evolution as a function of expected incident heat loads within the COMPASS edge plasmas is presented.

The two-grating spectrometer, which has been developed for the ISTTOK tokamak, allows an estimation of the temporal evolution of both ion temperature and poloidal velocity of the edge plasma by analysis of Doppler-shifted and broadened CIII spectral lines at ~465nm. At the current phase of the COMPASS tokamak operation, the first measurements of ion temperature using the optical system based on the spectrometer were performed and first results are presented.
