| SPIFFI is a near-infrared integral field spectrograph
for the VLT. It allows observers to obtain simultaneously spectra of 2048
pixels in a 32x64 pixel field-of-view. In conjunction with the adaptive
optics system MACAO it is possible to perform spectroscopy with slit widths
sampling the diffraction limit of an 8m-class telescope. SPIFFI covers the
near-infrared wavelength range from 1.1µm to 2.45µm with a moderate
spectral resolving power ranging from R=1500 to R=4000. |
