Developing Scattering Morphology Resolved Total Internal Reflection Microscopy (SMR-TIRM) for Orientation Detection of Colloidal Ellipsoids.

Micrometer scale colloidal particles experiencing ∼ scale interactions and suspended in a fluid are relevant to a broad spectrum of applications. Often, colloidal particles are anisotropic, either by design or by nature. Yet, there are few techniques by which ∼ scale interactions of anisotropic particles can be measured.
