We have conducted an optical study of the recently discovered very fast (P∼16msec) X-ray pulsar PSR J0537-6910 in the supernova remnant N157B. Broad band imaging has been obtained to study the field around the X-ray position and a high speed photometry programme was carried out in an attempt to detect optical pulses.
