(a) Recorded interference pattern for transparent and smooth PET MP [21]; speckle pattern of similar MP with a rough surface [23]; (b) using the handheld optical sensor. Identification of MPs in ethanol; (c) time-dependent speckle contrast calculated for pure ethanol only and ethanol-containing MPs (FEMPs) on a rough glass disk using a handheld optical sensor; (d) time-dependent transmittance signal from ethanol containing MPs at a fixed wavelength (800 nm) using a spectrophotometer.
