The WSRT yields samples of radio sources which are well suited for systematic identification work for the following reasons:

  1. a) The surface density is high: at 1415 MHz an average of 10 to 30 sources can be detected within 0°.55 from the field centre; at 610 MHz the numbers are 40 to 100 within 1°.0. In any given field, most sources will fall within the boundaries of plates for the present generation of optical telescopes.

  2. b) The positional accuracy is, on the whole, rather high. One can thus propose identifications based on positional agreement only, avoiding selection effects present when selecting “on type”.
