Abstract
Basic concepts in the theory of astronomical masers which are necessary for the discussion of red giant masers are introduced. Maser radiation from late type stars is then discussed in detail with special emphasis on SiO masers as probes of the stellar atmosphere and OH masers as a tool for studying the mass loss process and the circumstellar shell.
