Investigations of small scale angular fluctuations and the spectrum of the microwave background radiation is one of the main methods of studying the large scale structure of the Universe. Figure 1 shows the principal stages of the evolution of the Universe. Today we can directly observe galaxies, clusters of galaxies and quasars in the redshift range z ≤ 3.5 by optical, radio and X-ray astronomy. These observations show that significant density perturbations δρ/ρ > 1 are present on mass scales M < 1016 M⊙. the Universe is essentially uniform δρ/ρ < 1 on large scales M ≫ 1016 M⊙.
