Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to methods and apparatus for detecting properties of suspended particles. Embodiments disclosed include an optical instrument (200) for detecting properties of a sample, comprising: a sample cell (103) for holding a sample of a particulate dispersion; a coherent light source (101) configured to illuminate the sample in the sample cell (103); a light intensity detector (104, 106) positioned to receive and measure an intensity of light from the coherent light source (101) elastically scattered by the sample in the sample cell (103); and a spectral light detector (212) positioned and configured to receive and measure a range of wavelengths of light from the coherent radiation source (101) inelastically scattered by the sample in the sample cell (103).
