Three active nuclei environments have been observed with the integral field spectrograph TIGER operating in the visible domain : Mkn 34, NGC 5929 and M 51. These three objects exhibit linear radio-sources evocating expulsion of plasmons from the nucleus. Long-slit or Pérot-Fabry observations showed that the gas of the galaxies is interacting with the radio-emitter, and models of this interaction have been proposed. These new observations combines the two spatial dimensions of integral field spectrography (with 0.7″ FWHM) with the rather large spectral domain of classical spectrography.
