scattering Etymology: ME, scateren a change in the direction of photons caused by the interaction between photons and matter. In coherent scattering, an incident photon interacts with matter and excites an atom, causing it to vibrate. The vibration causes the photon to scatter. Also called Thompson scattering, unmodified scattering. In Compton scattering an incident photon interacts with an orbital electron, transferring some of its energy to that electron. The electron is ejected, and the photon is scattered. scattering a change in the direction of motion of a photon or subatomic particle as the result of a collision or interaction.

The technique combines a concentration detector (refractive index or UV-visible), viscometer and light scattering detector acting in concert, with each detector providing complimentary but different information. In the side view, you see the blue colors in the light scattering as they bounce off the milk molecules. We have used laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and light scattering to characterize the surface topography and near-surface structure of weathered and unweathered PVDF coatings. |
