Summary

I briefly recall some basic features of gravitational lensing, chiefly in the context of multiple image formation which is the most widely observed phenomenon of ‘galaxy lensing’. In such cases, the angular scales involved are suitably matched to the sizes of existing integral field units, and therefore the impact of 3D spectroscopy has been largest. I review some recent advances of studying galaxy-scale gravitational lensing with integral field units, highlighting the investigation of small-scale structure in both lenses and sources.
