Lézerszórás

Lézerszórás, also known as laser scattering, is a phenomenon where laser light interacts with particles in a medium. When a laser beam passes through a suspension of particles, the light is deflected in various directions due to the interaction with the particle surfaces. This scattering of light can be analyzed to gather information about the particles themselves.

The type and intensity of the scattered light are dependent on several factors, including the size, shape, refractive index, and concentration of the particles, as well as the wavelength of the laser light. Different scattering patterns emerge based on these properties. For instance, smaller particles tend to scatter light more broadly, while larger particles scatter light more forward.

Lézerszórás finds applications in various scientific and industrial fields. It is commonly used in particle size analysis, allowing for the determination of the distribution of particle sizes within a sample. This is crucial in industries like pharmaceuticals, where precise particle size control is vital for drug efficacy, and in materials science for characterizing powders and colloids.

Beyond size analysis, lézerszórás can also be employed for particle counting and identification. By studying the scattering patterns, researchers can gain insights into the composition and morphology of the scattering entities. Other applications include fluid dynamics studies, atmospheric science for analyzing aerosols, and in medical diagnostics for examining blood cells or other biological particles. The technique offers a non-destructive and often rapid method for characterizing particulate matter.
