Multiangle static and dynamic light scattering in the intermediate scattering angle range
arXiv:1208.6393 · doi:10.1063/1.4751864
Abstract
We describe a light scattering apparatus based on a novel optical scheme covering the scattering angle range $0.5\dg \le θ\le 25\dg$, an intermediate regime at the frontier between wide angle and small angle setups that is difficult to access by existing instruments. Our apparatus uses standard, readily available optomechanical components. Thanks to the use of a charge-coupled device detector, both static and dynamic light scattering can be performed simultaneously at several scattering angles. We demonstrate the capabilities of our apparatus by measuring the scattering profile of a variety of samples and the Brownian dynamics of a dilute colloidal suspension.
