The Cosmic Web Imager (CWI) and the Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall) are two integral field specrographs designed to investigate line emission from the intergalactic medium (predominantly Ly α, O VI, and CIV). CWI, a ground based instrument, observes in the wavelength interval 4500 to 5400 A, while FIREBall takes advantage of a narrow stratospheric balloon window around 2000 A. The performance and design of the two instruments are discussed. Results of observations of the IGM with these new tools are presented.
