LS Spectrometer

Dynamic and Static Light Scattering for powerful Particle Characterization

The LS Spectrometer is the basic configuration of the LS Instruments goniometer based multi-angle static light scattering (SLS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) instrument for particle characterization. Even in its basic configuration, the LS Spectrometer is one of the most sophisticated instruments on the market and is particularly well suited as an entry-model.

Should your demands on the device increase over time, the LS Spectrometer can easily be upgraded to the 3D LS Spectrometer configuration at any time. Our patented modulated 3D Cross-Correlation technology opens up the world of error-free particle characterization of even highly concentrated samples.
