How 90-Degree Scatter Turbidity Meters Detect Sub-Micron Particulates: A Shanghai ChiMay Technical Primer
Why 90-Degree Geometry Matters for Small Particles Turbidity, at its core, is an optical measurement of scattered light. For a nephelometric instrument, a photodetector is placed at a fixed angle to a light source and reads the intensity of the light redirected by particles suspended in the sample. The choice of angle is not cosmetic….
