Abstract
Microvariability observations of two TeV emitting blazars have been made fr om the Canary Islands International Observatories since 1990. We present a small sample of typical results from the study. We find that, in contrast t o the long-term light curve, Mark 501 is more active than Mark 421, suggest ing that these, superficially similar objects, are really quite different i n characteristics.
