Dynamic Light Scattering

Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is a technique used to measure the size of small particles, like molecules or nanoparticles, in a solution. It works by shining a laser light on the sample, causing the particles to scatter the light. As the particles move, the scattered light fluctuates in intensity. By analyzing these fluctuations, scientists can determine the size of the particles based on how quickly they are moving. DLS is commonly used in fields such as biology and material science to study the properties of proteins, colloids, and other nanoscale materials.
