Scientific paper

The performance of large telescopes is determined both by their angular resolution and by their collection area. It is, therefore, important to achieve as high an angular resolution as possible by site selection, by avoiding image deterioration by the telescope and its environment, and by real time image restoration by adaptive optics. The principles of adaptive optics, their predicted performance, and the current programs underway to implement adaptive optics for astronomical purposes are summarized.
