title: A low angle quasi-elastic light scattering investigation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
abstract: This paper outlines the results of the first homodyning low angle scattering experiment known to have been reported for motile particles. Low angle scattering QELS studies were carried out on a wild strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii at scattering angles of 3.3 degrees, 2.6 degrees and 1.7 degrees. The resultant experimental autocorrelation functions and scaling curves were compared with a theoretical model that had been successful previously at scattering angles greater than 15 degrees.
