Light Scattering Center

If you are interested in light scattering and thermal imaging located in the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University, contact the supervisor, Professor Svetlana Morozova at sveta@case.edu.

SALS/DSALS

Small Angle Light Scattering with 405 nm, 635 nm, and 780 nm lasers, with DLS capabilities, which corresponds to a large scattering angle range. In this set-up, the intensity at all angles can be correlated instantaneously, allowing time-resolved measurements of structure change in both solutions and bulk.

Brookhaven DLS/SLS

Brookhaven goniometer, with both static and dynamic light scattering capabilities.

Confocal microscopy and DDM

We are able to process both bright field and fluorescence images and dynamics in solution with the Leica TCS SPE confocal microscope.

THermal imaging and scattering

Many materials absorb in the visible range, to circumnavigate these problems, we are able to scattering near-IR light to measure dynamics and interactions of these materials. Fast thermal imaging allows us to quantify thermal processes.
