small angle light scattering

edit

What about small angle light scattering? The theory is exactly the same. As the title of Kerker's boook (The scattering of light and other electromagnetic radiation) makes clear. It's just a question of the accessible length scales, depending on q. A table comparing the ranges of q accessible by the three techniques would be useful.

Theory - Continuum description

edit

In the first and second sentence in "Theory - Continuum description" section there is the equation " " and it continues as "here   ...". Is a   missing from the first equation? If not then what does   represent? I am not sure if it is wrong or not well explained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elefand (talkcontribs) 19:07, 1 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

The value of   is explained directly. It is trivial to derive the explanation of  .

proposal: Guinier's Law

edit

This page needs a short section on Guinier's Law, to precede the section on Porod's Law. The short sentence in Guinier's bio page that mentions that law can point back to this new section.

proposal: expand Scattering from particles

edit

This section could be more complete. As written, it describes the scattering from an ensemble of particles of identical shape and size where the shape is to be determined. A major part of small-angle scattering arises when the particles sizes are distributed. A different approach to interpretation of the experimental data is used in such cases and this should be mentioned, albeit briefly.
