Full resolution images (left panels) and simulated observations (right panels) of models with a depleted inner disk. The innermost regions (radii  <120 AU) are depleted by a factor of 10, while from 120 to 180AU the disk is cleared of dust. Upper panels are for a flared disk, lower panels for a settled disk. All images are using a_max = 30μm and compact grains. The color scale is altered with respect to the previous images to enhance details in the bright inner disk region.
