A review of the applications of a point-symmetric, 180-degree, rotational shearing interferometer is given. Material includes, photographs of the Michelson stellar interferometer fringes from α Lyr, measures of amplitude of phase excursions in the atmosphere, and a measure of the order of interference in speckle patterns. New material includes unpublished double star speckle patterns to illustrate the isoplanatic patch, a measure of the time fluctuations of the earths' atmosphere, and measurements of the properties of a 256 channel linear reticon.
