The integral field spectrograph TIGER, in operation at CFHT since a few years, has been successfully used on a large variety of astrophysical objects, ranging from the planet Mars to distant radio-galaxies and quasars. This review discussed the peculiarities of the TIGER design and gives the main characteristics of the instrument. Two examples of scientific applications are presented to highlight the new possibilities offered by integral field spectrography. Finally the OASIS project dedicated to the CFHT adaptive optics bonnette is briefly presented.
