Overview of large spectroscopic surveys of nearby galaxies. Left: large spectroscopic surveys in the plane defined by their spatial resolution (in physical units) and the number of spatial resolution elements surveyed. IFU surveys are shown with diamond symbols (green for those achieving cloud-scale or better resolution and blue if probing at kiloparsec scales). VENGA (Blanc et al. 2013) is not shown because it features fewer than 10⁵ resolution elements. For reference, the single fibre SDSS survey (Abazajian et al. 2009, red triangle) is added. PHANGS-MUSE sits in the top-left of this space, ranking highly on both metrics. Right: large spectroscopic surveys in the plane defined by their spatial resolution (in physical units) and the number of galaxies surveyed. PHANGS-MUSE lies on the overall trend line of other IFU surveys.
