ABSTRACT
We present results from optical observations of BL Lac objects that were
done during 2000 - 2001 from Skinakas Observatory. Each object was
observed typically for ~ 3 days in the U,B,V,R and I bands. Our main aim
is to study the optical micro-variability that the sources exhibit. In
particular we study the cross-links between the variations at different
wavebands in terms of cross-correlation function analysis and the
spectral variability of each source. Implications of our results for
current theoretical models are also discussed.
