A new apparatus which makes it possible to measure flow small‐angle light scattering (“flow‐SALS”) and to observe the development of the supramolecular structure by an optical microscope (“shear microscopy”) has been developed in our laboratory. It simultaneously provides information on reciprocal space from SALS and on real space from optical microscopy. Therefore, the development of the supramolecular structure in systems such as polymer solutions and polymer mixtures as well as liquid crystals and colloidal systems under shear can be investigated in depth. Shear‐induced phase separation and shear‐induced homogenization of some polymer solution systems were investigated using this apparatus.
