About 100 compact galactic X-ray sources have been identified optically. Most of them are binaries consisting of compact stars (white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes). They can be divided into three main categories: (1) with a massive binary companion forming a high mass X-ray binary, (2) with a low mass late type binary companion, (3) cataclysmic variable stars. The authors give a brief introduction to them, putting less emphasis on the latter.
