Abstract
The invention provides a method for measuring light scattered on a sample in a medium, in particular a fluid medium, that comprises the following steps: providing a rotatably arranged measuring cell with a substantially circular cross-section in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation for receiving the medium and the sample, rotating the measuring cell, preferably at least once by substantially 360°, about the axis of rotation, in particular by means of a drive, emitting a laser beam by means of a laser onto the sample located within the measuring cell in the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation at different angles of rotation of the measuring cell, the measuring cell maintaining its position in the direction of the axis of rotation, detecting scattered light signals by means of at least two detectors arranged in a circle and concentrically to the center of rotation of the measuring cell and fixed within set, different angular ranges at different angles of rotation of the measuring cell, and determining a corrected signal value for each detector on the basis of the scattered light signals detected at different angles of rotation of the measuring cell for each detector.…
