One of their special features is their diffraction-limited imaging and long-slit spectroscopic capability in combination with the LBT adaptive secondary mirrors. This allows to achieve a spatial resolution down to 60mas and a spectral resolution of up to 25000. Switching from seeing-limited to diffraction-limited observations changes several operational aspects due to features such as the non-common path aberration or the flexure of the instruments. They all require novel techniques to optimize the image quality and to maximize the scientific return. Non-common path aberration can be corrected via look-up tables. For active flexure compensation the night-sky emission is used. The commissioning of the instruments in diffraction-limited mode on sky is largely finished and the instruments have been handed over to the LBT in April 2018.ELETTRONICOenConference paper10.1117/12.23135062-s2.0-85052656032000452664300005https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/10702/2313506/Commissioning-of-the-adaptive-optics-supported-LUCI-instruments-at-the/10.1117/12.2313506.short?SSO=12018SPIE10702E..0BHFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
