The 1990s are proving to be a very exciting p&iod for high
angular resolution astronomy. At radio wavelengths a combination of
new array instruments and pow erful imaging algorithms have
generated images of unprecedented resolution and quality. In the
optical and infrared, the great technical difficulties associated
with constructing separated-aperture interferometers have been
largely overcome, and many new instruments are now operating or are
being developed. As these pro grams start to produce observational
results they will be able to draw extensively on the experience
gained by the radio-interferometry community. Thus it seemed that
the time was ripe for a meeting which would bring together workers
from all wavelength ranges to discuss the details of the science
and art of "Very High Angular Resolution Imaging" . While the main
emphasis of Symposium No. 158 was on high resolution tech niques
from the radio, mm-wave, infrared and optical bands, it also
provided an opportunity for presentation of astronomical results
from these techniques. As well as giving our colleagues from the
Northern Hemisphere a break from midwinter, the location of the
Symposium in Australia recognised the continuing development of
astronomical interferometry in this country, especially the recent
completion of the Australia Telescope radio array, and the progress
toward com missioning of the Sydney University Stellar
Interferometer. A number of the par ticipants visited these
instruments during the post-symposium tour."
