The po or angular resolution of imaging γ -ray telescopes is offset by the large collection area of the next generation telescopes such as MAGIC (17 m diameter) which makes the study of optical emission associated with some γ -ray sources feasible. In particular the optical photon flux causes an increase in the photomultiplier DC currents. Furthermore, the extremely fast response of PMs make them ideal detectors for fast (subsecond) optical transients and periodic sources like pulsars. The HEGRA CT1 telescope (1.8 m radius) is the smallest Cerenkov telescope which has seen the Crab optical pulsations.
