Abstract

We discuss the prospects for resolving the disks of red-giants and Mira variables with the VLT and the VLTI. We also describe infrared aperture-masking observations with the NTT, from which we have measured angular diameters of 50 mas for R Dor (M8 III) and 44mas for W Hya (Mira variable).
