AbstractMuch effort has been spent at Pic-du-Midi, with increasingly large telescopes, to reduce the instrumental causes of image deterioration and take best advantage of local atmospheric conditions. With the new 2-meter reflector, specifically intended for high resolution imaging, the concept has been, ideally, to separate three air-masses: outside, inside the tube, and inside the dome. As a first step, no parallel plate of required size and quality being available, the tube is open to the outer air, but a connection between tube and dome aims at preventing the dome-air flowing across the light-beam. Results and expectations are presented.

This conference is concerned with the very high resolution imaging of cosmic sources in many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Various techniques are now available and the equipment is often automated and highly sophisticated but the term ‘very high angular resolution’ is comparative. Many of the problems existed over forty years ago when the best resolving power was about half a degree and the two major radio ‘stars’ appeared to be point sources. Very high resolution imaging in those days was the struggle to reach one minute of arc and Hanbury Brown had set his sights on considerably better than one second of arc with the concept of the intensity interferometer. The dream was to achieve a resolving power comparable to that of optical telescopes.

As a result of advances in instrumentation and techniques, from radio through to optical wavelengths, we have before us the prospect of producing very high resolution images of a wide range of objects across this entire spectral range. This prospect, and the new knowledge and discoveries that may be anticipated from it, lie behind an upsurge in interest in high resolution imaging from the ground. Several new high angular resolution instruments for radio, infrared, and optical wavelengths are expected to come into operation before the 1991 IAU General Assembly.
