Millimeter- and submillimeter wavelength interferometry is a powerful technique allowing imaging of dust and molecules in a multitude of astronomical environments. With the arrival of the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), such studies will be possible with unprecedented sensitivity and a spatial resolution similar to the diffraction limit of large optical/infrared telescopes. In this paper, we mention a few aspects of (sub) millimeter astronomy and provide a short summary of ALMA's capabilities.
