The SOAR-IFUS will have a 2-D coverage of a 5x10" field using 1300 contiguous spatial elements (lenslets). The core diameter of the optical fibers will be 50mm and the center-to-center separation will be 75mm. It is expected to have a 4000 pixels CCD that gives 3 pixels for each fiber (the dispersion will be along the 2K dimension and the spatial direction along the 4K dimension. Resolution: R=1300 to 30000; Wavelength coverage: 350-1050nm.
