Abstract
The design and construction of a laser light scattering spectrometer suitable for diffusion and flow measurements on biological materials is described. The type of quantitative information that can be obtained using this instrument in conjunction with photon correlation signal processing includes: the diffusion coefficient of a macromolecule; the average size and dispersity of a sample of subcellular particles in vitro; the average velocity profile of streaming cytoplasm in vivo. The turntable unit and readily adjustable collection optics enable a variety of samples to be investigated at a range of scattering angles.
