'''Single Particle Extinction and Scattering (SPES)''' is a technique in [[physics]] that is used to characterise micro and [[nanoparticle]]s suspended in a fluid through two independent parameters, the diameter and the [[refractive index|effective refractive index]].<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Single particle extinction and scattering optical method unveils in real time the influence of the blood components on polymeric nanoparticles |journal = Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine|volume = 13|issue = 8|lastlast1=Sanvito |firstfirst1=Tiziano |last2=Bigini |first2=Paolo |date=November 2017 |pages=2597–2603 |doi=10.1016/j.nano.2017.07.008 |pmid=28756089 |last3=Cavanna |first3=Maria V. |last4=Fiordaliso |first4=Fabio |last5=Violatto |first5=Martina B. |last6=Talamini |first6=Laura |last7=Salmona |first7=Mario |last8=Milani |first8=Paolo |last9=Potenza |first9=Marco A.

A [[laser]] generates a [[gaussian beam]] which focuses inside a flow cell. A particle that passes through the focal region generates an interference in the beam, which is collected with a sensor. Through this signal it is possible to derive the real part and the imaginary part of the forward scattering field from each particle.
