Light Scattering and Particle Sizing Instrumentation

V. I. Ovod, Ph.D.

In Optical Particle Sizing and Light Scattering Instrumentation since 1978

Currently available for an R&D Scientist or Engineer position in optical instrumentation and software development

Consulting Services:

Are you having problems with your particle sizing or light scattering instruments?
We can help you in the following ways:

Improve your instrument's operation through interpretation of measurement results, error correction, design optimization, software development, mathematical modeling of multiple light scattering, etc.

Increase the accuracy of your particle measuring instruments based on the following techniques:

Single Particle Interaction with a Laser Beam
Dynamic Light Scattering / Photon Correlation Spectroscopy
Phase Doppler Anemometry
Fraunhofer Diffraction (light scattering by ensemble of particles)
Electrophoretic Light Scattering
or by a combination of the techniques.

Combine the advantages of different types of particle analyzers.

Convert measurement results obtained by various analyzers to the general platform.

Develop or upgrade algorithms and embedded software for real time data interpretation of measurement results and error correction in various kind of optical instruments and sensors.

Explain and solve your problems in particle size measurements.

Provide numerical modeling of your measurement results by using multiple light scattering algorithms.
