A generalization of the Osipkov-Merritt inversion of the fundamental integral equation for anisotropic spherical galaxies is obtained. For any density profile this inversion yields a two-parameter distribution function with arbitrary degrees of both radial and tangential velocity anisotropies. Therefore, for the first time, exact analytical models can be found which generate given density profiles and possess tangential velocity anisotropies. This property disposes of the well-known radial orbit instability encountered by many models of anisotropic spherical galaxies
