Advanced instrumentation for QELS experiments
Quasi Elastic Light Scattering (QELS) experiments have become an important tool in both research and quality control applications during the past 25 years. From the crude beginnings employing mechanically driven spectrum analyzers, an impressive array of general purpose digital correlators and special purpose particle sizers is now commercially available. The principles of QELS experiments are reviewed, their advantages and disadvantages are discussed and new instrumentation is described.
