  2. Slicing the UniverseCCDs for MUSE • MUSE (Multi Unit Spectral Explorer) is built by a consortium of European institutes(ESO, Göttingen, Leiden, Lyon, Toulouse, Zürich). • 2nd generation instrument for the VLT. • Integral field spectrometer for the Nasmyth focus. • 24 Integral Field Units (IFU). • 24 cryostats with one 4k x 4k CCD attached to IFUs.
