Greater angular resolution, better photon collection capability, and superior seeing at the appropriate site, are the advantages anticipated from the application of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope to IR speckle interferometry. The astrophysical consequences of these performance improvements are greater insight into such star formation processes as stellar winds, disks, mass ejection, fragmentation, Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities and the role of magnetic fields. It is also anticipated that advancements will be made in the appearance of protoplanetary systems and the structure of IR emission in active galactic nuclei.
