/ Abstract

We present the results of AO imaging (H and K bands) of 12 low and intermediate redshift (z 15. 0) themselves as reference for the correction, have typical spatial resolution of FWHM ~ 0. 3 arcsec before deconvolution. The deconvolved H-band image of PG 1700+514 has a spatial resolution of 0. 15 arcsec and reveals a wealth of details on the companion and the host-galaxy.
