Scientific paper

VLTI - the infrared interferometer integrated into the VLT complex on Paranal - is approaching operation as part of the scientific instrumentation of the VLTs, with the first call for proposals out for the observing period starting in spring 2004. Two first generation scientific instruments will become available: AMBER, working in the near-infrared and combining up to three telescope beams is scheduled to see first fringes and have commissioning early in 2004. MIDI, working in the 10 micron band and combining two telescope beams, already is working in its basic observing mode. This contribution concentrates on a brief description of the latter instrument and the preliminary first scientific results obtained with it.
