Scientific paper

This is a brief account of the development of infrared instrumentation at ESO from the first single pixel photometers, built in the optically dominated late 1970s, through the revolution ushered in by the development of panoramic infrared detectors and the VLT, to a tiny glimpse of the 42-metre E-ELT, whose instruments will probably operate predominantly in the infrared, with the aid of adaptive optics. In support of my personal memories, I have combed The Messenger for facts and include here the most accurate timeline I could construct, together with references for those who wish to read more, and by way of acknowledging some of those who contributed to this story.
