During the development of the Michelson interferometer, it was determined that the natural resonance amplitude was simply too great to perform interferometry.  A direct imaging approach was suggested as a way to determine the vibration amplitude for the very high vibrations at the low wire tension originally used for mounting.  This technique involves using the interferometry set up with the reference mirror and beam expander removed.  The laser is passed directly through the beam splitter cube, with one half beam illuminating the diamond and the other removed.  That illuminated spop is tne passed back through the cube and into our high speed camera.  This beam creates two spots on our image.  One is the point to point focus spot.  The other is an artifact known as a lens flare
