Abstract

We present a simple, single beam, laser light scattering technique which discriminates against multiple scattering in turbid media using cross-correlation of the scattered intensity at slightly different spatial positions. Experimental results obtained at a scattering angle of 90° for colloidal suspensions of various concentrations show that the technique yields information on particle diameter, even for samples which are visually opaque.
