The Interferometric Bidimensional Spectrometer (IBIS) is an advanced instrument for imaging spectroscopy installed at the Dunn Solar Telescope at NSO/Sacramento Peak. The instrument has been constructed by a consortium of italian institutes and allows for observations of the photosphere and chromosphere at high spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution. Such observations are essential for performing spatial and spectral comparisons with numerical simulations. We will present some of the performance characteristics of the instrument and show some examples of the IBIS data. We will also show some initial results of the recently tested polarimetric mode. IBIS is available for community use as a facility instrument of NSO.IBIS has been funded by the Italian Research Ministry (MIUR), the Italian Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), and the Universities of Florence and Rome. Additional support is provided by the National Solar Observatory.

Abstract
The Interferometric Bidimensional Spectrometer (IBIS) is an advanced instrument for imaging spectroscopy installed at the Dunn Solar Telescope at NSO/Sacramento Peak. The instrument has been constructed by a consortium of italian institutes and allows for observations of the photosphere and chromosphere at high spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution. Such observations are essential for performing spatial and spectral comparisons with numerical simulations. We will present some of the performance characteristics of the instrument and show some examples of the IBIS data. We will also show some initial results of the recently tested polarimetric mode.
