Another (somewhat rough) sketch of the lenslet+fibre IFS, from sky to CCD:
The placement, on the CCD, of spectra from different parts of the field-of-view (taken from the website of Jeremy Allington-Smith, Durham University):
Simplified Integral Field Unit's (IFU) operation based upon a 3X3 fiber optics array. In the diagram, the light from the image of the galaxy is transported through optical fibers to a spectrograph (indicated by prism). A spectrum is produced by each fiber and captured on a large CCD detector. Artwork by Jon Lomberg. Photo credit: "Gemini Observatory".
