Cosmological models for structure formation are severely constrained by several of the recent observational results. We now have observations which probe the power spectrum of fluctuations from about 0.5 h−1 Mpc to 3000 h−1 Mpc. These probes and the constraints they imply on models for structure formation are reviewed.
