SPM-Twin: Wide-Field Sampling & Integration<br />

(complementary limitations)<br />

1.5° Field of View (5400”) = 1.77 square degrees<br />

Lots of sampling elements (“spaxels”): 2.4x10 7 squared arcsecs<br />

a) Full wavelength range with well-chosen spatial<br />

coverage (d-IFUs, fiber-bundles, starbugs)<br />

b) Full spatial coverage with a finite wavelength<br />

range (WFT tunable imager)<br />
