Laser diffraction is widely used for particle size analysis, but what actually happens inside the instrument—from the moment light interacts with particles to the final reported results—is not always well understood.
In this session, we will demystify the fundamentals of laser diffraction by breaking down the underlying principles, optical components, and data interpretation. Attendees will gain a clearer, practical understanding of how measurements are made and what factors influence data quality, helping them build confidence in both using and explaining their results.
Vortragende
- Dr. Anne Virden - Product Manager – Micro Materials, Malvern Panalytical
- Hannah Buckland - Applications Specialist, Malvern Panalytical
