Abstract

This review covers the progress of light scattering applications in the field of particle characterization in the past decade. The review addresses static light scattering (the measurement of scattering intensities due to light–particle interaction at various spatial locations), dynamic light scattering (the measurement of scattering due to light–particle interaction as a function of time), and scattering tracking analysis (the tracking of particle movement through scattering measurement).
