Understanding How Laser Diffraction Works
The first laser diffraction system designed by Malvern Instruments was first introduced in the 1970’s. Since then, the technique has been accepted across a wide range of applications as a means of obtaining rapid, robust particle size data. The pages below provide an introduction to how the technique works and how the results obtained compare to other methods of particle size analysis.
