The IFU reformats the two dimensional field of view to produce the input slit for the spectrometer. The 28 slice images that make up this slit will be formatted to fit the detector format described above with a gap in the middle of the slit corresponding to the gap in the detector mosaic with margins applied. The output slit will be formed on a curved focal plane with radius of curvature 1000 mm (centre of curvature away from the IFU) to improve the performance of the predisperser, with an output pupil at infinity (telecentric beam).
