A single IFU pointing on M33

The figure shows one fiber bundle location on M33 including the giant HII region NGC604 in the bottom left hand side. A total of 784 fibers can be accommodated side by side for a fiber core of 100 micron (FoV=8.62”) and total fiber diameter (including clad, buffer, and tolerance) of 150 micron (12.93”).
In a squared arrangement as shown, this provides a FoV = 6’ x 6’, and a total of some 80 pointings to cover entirely M33 (credit: E. Pérez).
