Abstract
The necessity for high energy resolution (resolving powers > 100,000) in VUV spectroscopic determinations of atomic and molecular Rydberg electronic structures is emphasized. Examples include spectral observations of Rydberg levels in Ge i near the 4p limit, in Sr i near the 4d2D3/2 limit, and in the diatomic hydrogen halides (especially HI) below the X2Π3/2 limit.
