Light Scattering Techniques

Light scattering techniques are methods used to study the properties of particles by observing how they scatter light. When light hits a particle, it can bounce off in different directions. By analyzing the scattered light, scientists can determine the size, shape, and concentration of particles in various materials, from biological samples to industrial products. These techniques are valuable in fields like chemistry, biology, and material science, helping researchers understand complex systems without needing to disturb them. Examples include dynamic light scattering and static light scattering, each providing insights through the unique patterns of light dispersion.
