An heterodyne speckle approach has been applied for measuring the transverse coherence of FEL radiation in SASE regime in the optical region (400nm) at SPARC (LNF, Frascati - Italy). It turned out that the coherence length is comparable with the beam size and only slight variations of the coherence properties have been observed after the 5th undulator section. The technique needs a very essential setup composed only by a water suspension of commercial colloidal particles and a CCD camera. The Complex Coherence Factor is retrieved from the Fourier analysis of the interference pattern generated by the stochastic superposition of the almost spherical waves scattered by the particles and the unperturbed transmitted beam (heterodyne speckles). This approach does not require the engineering of ad-hoc devices and provides a two-dimensional map of the transverse coherence without any a-priori assumption about its functional form. The method is suitable for one-shot characterization and it works in the X-ray wavelength as well. It has been previously developed and tested to be effective with synchrotron radiation [*,**] (ID02 and ID06 at ESRF, Grenoble).
