The IBIS Telescope is the high angular resolution Gamma-Ray imager on-Board the INTEGRAL Observatory, successfully launched from Baikonur (Kazakhstan) the 17th 2002. This medium size ESA project, originally planned for a 2 year mission and now extended till end of 2008, is devoted to the observation of the gamma-ray sky in the energy range from 3 keV to 10 MeV. The IBIS imaging system is based on two independent solid state detector arrays optimised for low (15 - 1000 keV) and high (0.175 - 10.0 MeV) energies surrounded by an active VETO System essential to minimise the in-flight background. The imaging capability is ensured by coupling the pixelised detector arrays with a 1 meter squared 16 mm thick tungsten Coded Aperture Mask. To date the IBIS telescope is working nominally in orbit since more than one year. The imager is serving the scientific community at large providing a unique combination of unprecedented high energy wide field imaging capability coupled with broad band spectroscopy and high resolution timing over the energy range from hard X-Ray to Gamma Ray. In this paper will be presented the IBIS in flight scientific Performance. Key words: IBIS.
