The Sydney University Stellar Interferometer (SUSI) is the first instrument with sufficient resolving power to measure the angular sizes of a large number of stars over the full range of spectral classes. It can also resolve the orbits of spectroscopic binaries, allowing masses and distances to be determined directly. One of the major programs envisaged for the instrument is a study of pulsating stars, in particular Cepheids.
