VERITAS is one of a new generation of imaging air Čerenkov telescope arrays built to study astrophysical sources emitting gamma rays in the GeV to TeV energy range. The catalog of objects that can be studied by these ground-based instruments is expanding rapidly. The observations now possible make a critical contribution to understanding some of the most energetic phenomena in the universe. The imaging Čerenkov technique makes use of atmospheric calorimetry. The types of objects studied and the optical nature of ground-based gamma-ray telescopes places them solidly within the field of astronomy. However, the strong connections to particle processes, the electronic instrumentation, and reconstruction methods are those familiar to high energy particle physics. The advances in instrumentation that have brought about the current success of the field are reviewed and prospects for future improvements discussed.
