The Field Imaging Far Infrared Line Spectrometer (FIFI-LS) is a two-channel imaging spectrometer that is used to study the interstellar medium where matter from old stars is recycled into new stars. This instrument takes both images and medium resolution spectra in the 50-125 micron range and the 100-200 micron range simultaneously. FIFI-LS was developed by a team from the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
