OBS

Dans certains systèmes, les particules qui sédimentent forment des couches séparées par des distances approximativement égales à l'ordre de grandeur de la longueur d'onde de la lumière. Ceci donne naissance à des couleurs intenses lorsqu'on les observe en lumière réfléchie; on dit alors que le système forme des couches iridescentes ou des couches de Schiller.
