RheoOptics - Rheo-SALS Small-Angle Light Scattering
Small-angle light scattering (SALS) is a well-established technique for structure analysis in the size range of the applied laser's wavelength. The combination of rheology and SALS (Rheo-SALS) allows the investigation of shear-dependent structural changes or crystallization through by analyzing the scattering patterns of the laser light. The greatest benefit of Rheo-SALS by Anton Paar is its wide scattering angle, allowing structure measurements in a large size range.
Technical highlights
- Light scattering experiments for SALS structure analysis simultaneous to rheological measurements
- Large scattering angle range (scattering vector range)
- Modular, open design consisting of laser diode, CCD camera, optics and polarizers
- Certified laser safety concept
- Full integration with the RheoPlus software allows image or video recording during the measurement for later image analysis
Systems
- SALS 90: Liquid-temperature-controlled parallel plate and concentric
cylinder system for measurements up to 90 °C, optics prevent multiple scattering in concentric cylinder measurements
- SALS 300 (high-temperature SALS): Electrically heated parallel plate system with hood for gradient-free measurements up to +300 °C
Image recording and display
- RheoPlus software controls both rheometer and CCD camera
- Automated image/video recording during measurement
- Direct alignment of images and videos to rheological data
