Three quasars, Ton 616, 4C 37.43 and PKS 2251+113 (Stockton and MacKenty 1987) were observed in 1992 at the 3.6 m CFH telescope with the Integral Field Spectrograph TIGER (Courtès et al. 1987, Pécontal 1991) under subarcsecond seeing (0.5 - 0.7”). The spatial sampling was 0.39” in a field 7 by 7 ”, and the spectral resolution 8 ÅFWHM in the Hβ - [OIII]λ 5007 wavelength region (in the rest frame of the objects). The scaling is 4.5, 5.9 and 5.3 kpc.arcsec−1 for Ton 616, 4C 37.43 and PKS 2251+113 respectively (H0 = 75 km.s−1.Mpc−1). The data were reduced with the software developed at Observatoire de Lyon by Rousset, Bacon and Pécontal (Rousset 1992). A detailed account of our results is reported in Durret et al. 1994.
