Abstract
The shape of particles and their orientations in space are of importance in the manufacture of aerosols, paints and coatings, pharmaceuticals and to sensing and imaging through turbid random media The use of polarised radiation affords a greater flexibility to address these characteristics through the use of light scattering techniques In the case of scattering by many very small particles, polarisation ratios, distributions and correlation functions of scattered polarised light all require additional information to resolve measurement ambiguities. However, we have recently shown [1] that the shape of the probability density of scattered radiation from a single small scatterer provides a means to determine the shape of spheroidal particles uniquely.
