Title:
OPTICAL MEASURING DEVICE AND METHOD, NANOPARTICLE MEASURING METHOD AND DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/025158
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An optical measuring device for performing measurement using a transient diffraction grating method through only adjustment of probe light and a nanoparticle measuring device employing a similar principle. The optical measuring device comprises a power supply (15) , a container (11) for hoiding a sample, a pair of electrodes (13, 14) for generating an electric line of force distribution where regions of high electric line of force density and regions of low electric line of force density are arrangeed regularly, a dielectrophoresis control section (19) for controlling the generation of transient diffraction grating utilizing dielectrophoresis of particles in a sample caused by applying a voltage to the paired electrodes (13, 14) and the variation in transient diffraction grating due to diffusion of particles in the sample caused by the variation in applied voltage, a light source (16) for irradiating the transient diffraction grating with light, and a photodetector (18) for detecting light diffracted by the transient diffraction grating. Particles are evaluated from variation in intensity of light diffracted by the transient diffraction grating. The particle diameter of nanoparticles is measured by a similar principle, thus enhancing the signal strength, the sensitivity and the S/N ratio as compared with the dynamic scattering method.
