Diffraction refers to the bending of waves, such as light, when they encounter obstacles or pass through small openings. The size of the opening relative to the wavelength of light influences the ...

Abstract: The essentiality of diffraction wavefront in structural mapping has been perceived, mainly because of its imaging potential for small structural variations and microscopic discontinuities.

In many industries, laser diffraction is used to perform routine particle size analysis. The power of laser diffraction is such that it has started to replace conventional techniques, such as sieving.

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Laser diffraction needs a smaller representative sample when compared to sieving. However, it can also use larger samples. For a dry-dispersed laser diffraction experiment, the sample size ranges ...

Vibronic coherences are unique features that emerge in the decisive moments of photochemistry and photophysics. Here we demonstrate how X-ray diffraction can access fundamental information about these ...

Diffraction gratings are beautiful things, bending transmitted and reflected light and splitting it into its component wavelengths to create attractive iridescent rainbow patterns. It’s the same ...
