The HERMES experiment at DESY has been designed to study the spin structure of the nucleon. Impressive results have been obtained not only from inclusive processes but also for semi-inclusive and exclusive processes in deep-inelastic lepton scattering, helping to clarify the spin puzzle of the nucleon.

PACS numbers: 14.20.Dh, 13.60.-r
