- Title
Evolution of a Light Scattering Photometer.
- Authors
Phillips, David T.
- Abstract
The article discusses the evolution of the light scattering photometer. Philip J. Wyatt along with his staff invented the instrument in 1968, thinking that a light scattering measuring instrument can provide more quantitative information about bacterial structure. Together with Wyatt's innovative design and a laboratory breadboard instrument, the first precise optical determinations of average cell wall thickness, radius, size distribution, and refractive index of cell wall and cytoplasm for cells of a viable bacteria culture was observed in 1970. Other modifications and prototypes derived from Wyatt's original design prototype are discussed.
