Perspective for optical high-angular resolution follow-up studies of X-raying AGNs

We explore the scientific potential of next-generation high-angular resolution optical imager to study the AGN/Host connection. The availability of a significant number of X-raying AGN with natural guide stars, allowing for adaptive optics at optical wavelengths, offers an interesting perspective to complement high-resolution work currently done in the near-infrared.
