Although optical synchrotron light from an extragalactic source - the jet in M 87 - has been discovered more than 30 years ago (Baade 1956) there are still only a handful extended radio sources with established optical synchrotron emission (see Röser 1989 and references therein, also Meisenheimer et al. 1989b). We outline the relevance of optical studies and summarize some results concerning the magnetic fields in extragalactic radio sources.
