We discuss how the range of information available from microparticle analysis can be
extended in a number of applications by measuring a specific set of optical properties of …

Spatial scale invariance represents a remarkable feature of natural phenomena. A
ubiquitous example is represented by miscible liquid phases undergoing diffusion. Theory …

ABSTRACT A fascinating way of generating speckle patterns is by interfering the weak fields
scattered by a disordered sample with the intense trans-illuminating beam. The resulting …

Mineral dust aerosol (dust) is widely recognized as a fundamental component of the climate
system and is closely coupled with glacial-interglacial climate oscillations of the Quaternary …

In this paper we report on recent two-dimensional (2D) electron beam size measurements
with a nonconventional synchrotron radiation interferometric technique based on x-ray …

We describe a method for simultaneous measurements of the real and imaginary parts of the
field scattered by single nanoparticles illuminated by a laser beam, exploiting a self …

By using the critical Casimir force, we study the attractive strength dependent aggregation of
colloids with and without gravity by means of near field scattering. Significant differences …

In this paper we extensively describe the heterodyne near field speckle method (HNFS) to
characterize both spatial and temporal coherence of synchrotron radiation (SR). The method …

We describe an optical approach based on Digital Holography for single-particle
characterization of mineral dust and micrometric particles, focusing on the analysis of …

Contemporary approaches to optical multiple micro-manipulation typically involve careful
pre-engineering of the laser beam shape. In various biomedical and microfluidic scenarios …
