VRI images reconstructed from MUSE data cubes for pointings (a), (b), …, (j). The seeing FWHM for each pointing is indicated, the best image quality with 0.6″ (green frame) in (i). Fields (b) and (c) are affected by poor seeing (1.2″ and 1.0″, respectively). Owing to a reddish color, an old stellar population is apparent in the nuclear region sampled in (a) and (b), whereas the spiral arm fields (c), (d), (e), and (i) are dominated by blue stars. The interarm region in (j) features extinction by dust lanes. The background image is from the ESO/MPI 2.2 m WFI (credit: ESO).
