Fluorescent silica and alumina-like spherical particles with almost equal sizes are synthesized. Dilute aqueous suspensions are prepared with various ratios of those colloidal particles that exhibit opposite surface charges. These suspensions undergo heteroaggregation for a wide range of compositions. The structure of the formed aggregates is analyzed by means of confocal microscopy. The experimental results are compared to those of Brownian dynamics simulations in which the interactions between colloids are modeled by the DLVO potential. Good agreement between experiments and simulations is obtained.
