摘要：

This paper presents the VLT-VIMOS Integral Field spectroscopy Unit. This unit allows to observe a very large 54 " x54 " field on one edge of the VIMOS instrument multi-object field. This unit contains 6400 sets of mu lenses-fibers-mu lenses, producing the equivalent of a 72arcmin x 0.67 arcsec slit projected on the sky. Two spatial resolution (0.66 " and 0.33 ") are offered, coupled with the low and high spectral resolution of VIMOS. The design philosophy, technological choices and the first test results of the assembled unit are presented.
