MPE has developed 3D, a new type of a highly sensitive near- infrared integral field spectrometer. It has been designed to multiplex spectral as well as spatial information thus obtaining a full data cube in a single integration. At a spectral resolution between 1000 and 2000 and a field of view of 16 by 16 pixels, optimized for subarcsecond spatial resolution imaging spectroscopy, it has a much higher efficiency compared to conventional techniques. Outfitting one of the VLTs with a near-IR 3D type instrument will provide a powerful tool for diffraction-limited integral field spectroscopic research, in particular on faint high-z galaxies in the early universe. The basic design, recent upgrades as well as plans for a possible VLT-3D instrument are presented.
