PMAS -- the Potsdam multiaperture spectrophotometer: a progress report

PMAS, the Potsdam Multiaperture Spectrophotometer, is a new integral field spectrograph currently under development at the Astrophysical Institute Potsdam (AIP). The design is optimized for linear and stable behavior in order to allow for 2D spectrophotometry which is expected to become an important new observing technique at 8 - 10 m class telescopes.© (1998) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
