Since 1990, an adaptive optics system with 52 actuators, a sensitive wavefront sensor and two near-infrared cameras equips the 3.6 meter telescope at La Silla (Chile). Open to visitors, this instrument has already produced a number of demonstrative and important scientific results in planetary, stellar and extragalactic astronomy, where the diffraction limit of the telescope is reached and routinely leads to images with 0.1 - 0.2 arcsecond resolution in the near infrared ((lambda) > 1 micrometers ). This instrument is a prototype developed in view of the European Very Large Telescope. We present here an overview of the science already done with some prospects for the near future.
