We conducted an observational program using the TIGER integral field spectrograph to study the dynamical structure of nearby galactic nuclei. We already obtained new original results on three of the best ”Black Holes Candidates”: M 32, M 31 and M 104. Their nuclei exhibit complex morphologies and unusual dynamical properties such as: asymmetries, anisotropy, triaxiality which would have been impossible to detect with a ”classical“ spectrograph.
