Scientific paper
Attention is given to the capabilities of a projected 8 m-diameter Very Large Telescope (VLT) by comparison with the present generation of 4 m-diameter telescopes and to the NASA Space Telescope. Clear advantages are foreseen for the VLT in optical high resolution spectroscopy, speckle interferometry in the V band, and the intermediate to low dispersion spectroscopy of faint, extended objects in the V band. Emphasis is presently given to the prospects for study of QSO absorption lines, the feasibility of a high dispersion instrument, the determination of ionized gas chemical composition, and moderate dispersion spectroscopy performance.
