Abstract: The morphological concept of parallel surfaces in combination with curvature measures known from integral geometry are used to characterise and model complex spatial structures beyond the two-point correlation function and to predict, for instance, percolation thresholds in porous media. Applied to liquid interfaces one finds a reduction of the surface tension at microscopic scales in good agreement with X-ray scattering experiments.
