Abstract: A fully-automated version of the Speckle Photography based on the Fast Fourier Transform, the One-Beam Digital Speckle- Interferometry, is used for investigation of sedimentation. The study is carried out with a Hele-Show cell. Both qualitative and quantitative results of slow sedimentation of spherical glass particles in mineral oil are presented. In the present article the processes of so called `fingers' formation and its development (the sedimentation front already lost its stability) are investigated. The authors paid also attention to the uniform sedimentation after the fingers fall down on the cell's bottom.!6
