Scientific paper

The ESO VLTI is arguably the most powerful
interferometric facility available at present in the world. In addition to a wide choice of baselines and the light collecting power of its 8.2-m and 1.8-m telescopes, the VLTI also offers a smooth and user-friendly operation which makes interferometry accessible to any astronomer. Late-type and AGB stars constitute one of the preferred targets of VLTI observations, and I will briefly illustrate the present possibilities by means of a few recent results. Behind the routine scientific operations, however, the VLTI is also in constant evolution. I will present some of the technological and instrumental improvements which are planned for the near and mid-term future, and discuss their implications for AGB research in particular.
