Attempts to use interstellar scintillations (ISS) to study the fine angular structure of quasars and galactic nuclei have not yet met with any success. The main reason for this lies in the comparatively large angular size of the nuclear structure which has been investigated. If dependencies on wavelength for the scintillation index, flux and angular size of a source are taken into account (Ozernoy and Shishov, 1980), it appears that centimeter wave band rather than decimeter wave range used in previous work is most appropriate for observing ISS.
