Laser light scattering instrumentation for biotechnology applications

Discusses the progress made in the size and cost reduction of the four basic system components of dynamic light scattering instrumentation: laser, optics, detector, and signal processor. The developments of miniature solid-state laser diodes for photon correlation use monomode optical fibre dynamic light scattering system, avalanche photodiodes for photon correlation use, and electronic chips for correlators are described.<
