Focal reducers are nowadays widely used on large telescopes as multi-mode instruments. Some general aspects of the design of focal reducers are discussed. FORS, the focal reducer/low-dispersion spectrograph for the ESO VLT is presented as an example for such a multi-mode instrument on a large telescope.
