We describe a light scattering apparatus in which the detection electronics are interfaced to a microcomputer. We report experimental results obtained with the apparatus on the scattering of 0.6328-μm laser light from dilute water suspensions of polystyrene latex spheres with diameters of 2 and 5 μm. Experimental results are compared with theoretical scattering curves obtained from a simple, yet reasonably good, approximation of Mie scattering theory.
