Descripción
We give an introduction into the observational technique of integral
field or 3D spectroscopy. We discuss advantages and drawbacks of this
type of observations and highlight a few science projects enabled by
this method. In the second part we describe our 3D spectroscopic survey
of Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies. We show preliminary results from data
taken with the VIMOS integral field unit and give an outlook on how
automated spectral analysis and forthcoming instruments can provide a
new view on star formation and associated processes in dwarf galaxies.
