Webinar Dynamic Light Scattering: What's Under the Hood?

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a go-to analysis method for nanoparticles and other sub-micron samples. In the particle analysis world, DLS is so ubiquitous and accepted that many users do not pause to question how the technique works, what its limitations may be, and how to best interpret DLS results.

This talk is held in cooperation with the University of Minnesota Nano Center and will review the fundamentals of DLS measurement, examine different DLS processing schemes, and explore the interpretation of DLS output.

Topics

Light scattering by small particles
Fundamentals of DLS measurement
DLS signal processing schemes and their limitations
Types of size distributions
Interpreting DLS output
