Integral Field Spectroscopy provides a powerful new tool for disentangling the complex structure of Active Galactic Nuclei—allowing 2D mapping of the distribution, kinematics and excitation of ionized gas and of stellar velocity profiles and populations. Such comprehensive datasets are likely to reveal important clues about the physics of the narrow line region, interactions with the host galaxy and central dynamical forces. Here we present observations of the central regions of NGC1068, obtained using the visible-wavelength GMOS-IFU at Gemini North and NGC4151, taken with a prototype near-infrared fibre IFU at the UK Infrared Telescope.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
