    Abstract: A molecular characterization detector includes a scattering cell containing a sample for molecular characterization, a light source for directing a light beam through the cell so that the light beam is scattered by the sample, optical elements for selecting from the scattered light a measurement beam comprising light that is scattered by the sample from a predetermined portion of the cell in a predetermined range of angles relative to the optical axis, and a detector for detecting the measurement beam and providing an output electrical signal representative of the measurement beam. The detector typically selects light scattered from a central portion of the scattering cell at angles in the range of 14.degree. to 16.degree.. A single spherical lens is preferably utilized. As a result, interference from stray scattered light is minimized. A beam dump attenuates the light beam after it passes through the scattering cell. Additional detectors detect light scattered at 90.degree. to the light beam. The outputs of the detectors are processed to provide molecular characterization of the sample.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a detector system for measuring the intensity of a radiation scattered at a predetermined angle from a sample (10) irradiated at a specified angle of incidence. The detector system comprises a path to transmit an incident beam of radiation onto the sample (10) and at least one radiation sensor (15,16,17,18; 35,36, . . . ; 45) positioned in the path of the radiations scattered from the sample (10). According to the invention the detector system has a dome positioned in the path of the radiation scattered from the sample (10). The dome is provided with at least one concave reflecting surface (11,12,13,14; 31,32, . . . ; 41) located in a range corresponding to the predetermined scattering angle, and the or each concave reflecting surface forms the image of the sample (10) onto a radiation sensor (15,16,17,18; 35,36, . . . ; 45). For example a 0.degree./45.degree. detector system is preferably arranged so that in the middle of the dome an opening (19) is provided suitable to let the incident beam of radiation fall onto the sample (10), and the dome is provided with at least two concave reflecting surfaces (11,12,13,14; 31,32, . . . ) located symmetrically with respect to the sample (10). A 45.degree./0.degree. detector system can be accomplished so that the dome is a member (44) provided with a rotationally symmetrical concave reflecting surface (41) positioned opposite the sample (10), radiation sensor (45) is disposed at the tip of said concave reflecting surface (41), and in the path of the incident beam there are an outside reflecting surface of revolution (42) of that member (44) as well as a further reflecting surface of revolution (43), the latter reflecting the beam of radiation coming from said outside reflecting surface (42) onto the sample (10) at the specified angle of incidence (FIG. 1).
