Limit of the applicability of the DDSCAT for a compact spherical grain of astronomical silicate, represented by ~500 000 dipoles. According to condition 3, the DDSCAT delivers suitable results for particles with radius 
(solid line). In Appendix A tests with the DDSCAT are presented, and we define the crosses as the upper limit.
