light scattering spectroscopy

Light scattering spectroscopy is a technique that analyzes how light interacts with small particles or structures, such as cells or tissues. When light encounters these tiny features, it scatters in different directions; by studying the patterns and characteristics of this scattered light, scientists can gain detailed information about the sample’s composition, structure, and physiological state. This method is useful in medical diagnostics, for example, to detect abnormalities or tumors, because changes in tissue structure alter how light is scattered. Overall, it provides a non-invasive way to assess the microscopic features of biological tissues.
