Multi-angle 3D-goniometer system

The instrument allows time-resolved measurements of dynamic and static light scattering in transparent and turbid samples using the technique of 3D cross-correlation at four angles simultaneously. The apparatus is equipped with a diode-pumped solid-state laser (wavelength λ0 = 532 nm) with a maximum power of 200 mW. Samples can be measured in cylindrical glass cells (with a diameter of 3, 5 or 10 mm) or 10 mm square cells and placed in the temperature controlled index-matching bath. The scattered light is detected simultaneously at 4 angles within an angular range of 10 to 150° by two photomultiplier tubes at each angle, and processed in real time by a 8 channel Flex correlator in a 3D cross-correlation configuration. Thus four intensity correlation functions are obtained simultaneously, one for each scattering angle measured. In aqueous samples we have access to scattering vectors 0.0027 ≤ q ≤ 0.031 nm-1.
