Abstract
The results of our study of a particular class of Galactic and extragalactic evolved stars, which are part of a binary system and surrounded by a stable dusty disc, are discussed. By combining spectroscopic, photometric and interferometric observations with detailed models describing dust properties and disc structure, we investigate the exact disc composition and structure.
