> >  techniques is the basis for scientific progress in observational
> >  astronomy.
> >  A number of new instruments have become available recently or will
> >  enter service in the very near future.
> >  Other fascinating instrumental proposals will be realized in somewhat
> >  more distant future, however, their concepts need to be defined well
> >  in advance.
> >  The IMPRS summer school 2008 is aiming to introduce young colleagues
