... The presence of small scale fluctuations of density (or of optical properties) in the spatial distribution of the dust would have important consequences for the modelling of molecular clouds because the UV light penetration and therefore the physical and chemical processes depend strongly on their structure (cf Boiss? ... We have developed methods to study in a direct way the amplitude of small scale variations of the extinction throughout translucent clouds ( mag). ...
