PSD by particle tracking Prev topic | Next topic

Diffusion of particles via brownian motion depends on particle size. This is used to determine the particle size distribution (PSD) of suspensions via the dynamic light scattering (DLS) (for example, Finsy R 1994). In this method, the correlation of light scattered by a large number of particles is measured.

The diffusion coefficient (see Dynamic light scattering) of a single particle was measured via optical particle tracking (for example, Schätzel et al 1992, see also Single particle tracking).
