Each of the 12 Nasmyth and Cassegrain foci of the ESO very large telescope (VLT) will be equipped with an 'adapter/rotator' which provides the mechanical interface for the science instruments and several key functions for the control of the telescope, namely a CCD sensor for acquisition and guiding, and a separate CCD sensor as wavefront sensor for the active optics control system. This paper describes the origins and concept for the VLT adapter/rotators, and the principal design drivers and constraints.
