Methods are discussed for establishing the optical identification of X-ray sources in the medium and deep X-ray surveys of the Einstein Observatory. Of the 63 X-ray sources with a statistical significance of not less than 5 sigma in the medium survey, optical identification work is summarized for 51, of which identifications have been made with 30 active galactic nuclei. The Einstein deep survey of Pavo (Griffiths et al., 1981) is used to illustrate the problems and methods used for securing optical identifications for X-ray sources in the deep survey fields. Identifications have been made with four QSOs at the bright end of the optical candidate distribution (together with 3G stars), and it is shown that a further seven fainter objects are also likely to be QSOs.
