Abstract
The invention relates to a device and to a method for measuring the scattered light about molecules present in a suspension, wherein the suspension is fed through a measurement cell. The measurement cell is produced as a segment of a curved surface, particularly an ellipsoid, a hyperbolic shape, a parabolic shape, or a circle, and comprises a curved and a flat surface. Light-sensitive detectors are disposed about the curved surface and capture the scattered light.
