MUSE（多单元光谱探测器）是第二代仪器，为ESO（欧洲南方天文台）建造，专用于VLT（甚大望远镜）。该仪器是一种创新的积分场摄谱仪（1x1 arcmin2视场），工作在可见光波长范围内，从465 nm到930 nm。MUSE项目得到了由7个研究所组成的欧洲联盟的支持。在欧洲完成集成和测试并通过欧洲的初步验收后，MUSE仪器已被部分安装并运往智利的VLT（甚大望远镜）。从2013年10月到2014年2月，它被重新组装，测试并最终安装在望远镜上。从那里，它将收集来自可见宇宙外部极限的第一批光子。为了取得这一成就，必须完成许多任务，克服挑战。项目生命中的这些最后步骤无疑是最关键的步骤之一。在风险、工作条件、操作限制、进度方面至关重要，最后在结果方面至关重要：仪器在天空中的第一缕光线和最后的性能。
MUSE (Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) is a second generation instrument, built for ESO (European Southern Observatory) and dedicated to the VLT (Very Large Telescope). This instrument is an innovative integral field spectrograph (1x1 arcmin2 Field of View), operating in the visible wavelength range, from 465 nm to 930 nm. The MUSE project is supported by a European consortium of 7 institutes. After the finalisation of its integration and test in Europe validated by its Preliminary Acceptance in Europe, the MUSE instrument has been partially dismounted and shipped to the VLT (Very Large Telescope) in Chile. From October 2013 till February 2014, it has then been reassembled, tested and finally installed on the telescope its final home. From there it will collect its first photons coming from the outer limit of the visible universe. To come to this achievement, many tasks had to be completed and challenges overcome. These last steps in the project life have certainly been ones of the most critical. Critical in terms of risk, of working conditions, of operational constrains, of schedule and finally critical in terms of outcome: The first light and the final performances of the instrument on the sky.
