Description

A SCALLS (Solution Crystallization Analysis by Laser Light Scattering) setup has been improved using 3 lasers with different wavelengths. This improvement allows us to not only determine the temperatures at which crystallization starts to occur, but also to estimate the size of the crystallites (as a function of temperature).
