15x optical zoom and extreme optical image stabilisation: diffraction limited integral field spectroscopy with the SWIFT spectrograph
When commissioned in November 2008 at the Palomar 200 inch Hale Telescope, the Oxford SWIFT Iandz band integral field spectrograph, fed by the adaptive optics system PALAO, provided a wide (3x) range of spatial resolutions: three plate scales of 235 mas, 160 mas, and 80 mas per spaxel over a contigu...
