Scientific paper

Attention is given to factors influencing the signal-to-noise ratios achievable in Very Large Telescope-based IR spectroscopy. Optimum performance in the thermal IR requires not only a low emissivity telescope, but one that is on a cold, dry site with excellent seeing. The core spectrometer will probably be a cooled grating/array instrument. Matching problems are not anticipated with telescopes in the 8-10 m-diameter class. The telescope image quality (on axis), and the tracking/guiding accuracy, must be compatible with the use of narrow slits.
