When light hits small particles, the light scatters in all directions (Rayleigh scattering) as long as the particles are small compared to the wavelength (below 250 nm). Even if the light source is a laser, and thus is monochromatic and coherent, the scattering intensity fluctuates over time. This fluctuation is due to small particles in suspension undergoing Brownian motion, and so the distanc. OverviewDynamic light scattering (DLS) is a technique in that can be used to determine the size distribution profile of small in or in. In the scope of DLS, temporal fluctuation. A monochromatic light source, usually a laser, is shot through a and into a sample. The scattered light then goes through a second polarizer where it is collected by a photomultiplier and the resulting im. Dynamic light scattering provides insight into the dynamic properties of soft materials by measuring single scattering events, meaning that each detected photon has been scattered by the sample exactly once. In principle.
