Ask An Expert: Advanced Dynamic Light Scattering: When can a polarizer give you extra insight?
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is now a ubiquitous tool in many laboratories, and offers an accessible and accurate way to find hydrodynamic size in minutes. The non-invasive technique requires very little sample and is quite easy to use for a range of user abilities. But did you know that in certain situations a polarizer or a fluorescence filter can give you even ‘more’ data? As it turns out, the backscattering detection feature of the Zetasizer is less well-known than we thought, so in this webinar Dr. Ulf Nobbmann will share his insights into how you can get the most out of your DLS instrument – and your analysis.
When
23.november. Starting 16:30 CET.
Who should attend?
- Anyone who wants deeper insights into more than the standard application of DLS for particle size;
- Anyone interested in or working on quantum dots, fluorescently
labelled particles, or similar research areas; - Scientists and researchers interested in understanding advanced
capabilities of light scattering.
What will you learn?
- Learn how to configure the polarizers and fluorescence filter in the Zetasizer;
- Discover how parallel and perpendicular polarization correlationfunctions may differ;
- Understand why these may differ in intercept & measured size.
