One of the most important new photon-counting two-dimensional imaging detectors developed in the last few years is a microchannel plate photomultiplier tube having a resistive anode readout. Some of the details of the design and performance characteristics of this detector have been described by Firmani (3) and Rees (5). This type of imaging photon detector (IPD) has been used by Dainty, et al (6), to perform photon correlation experiments on dynamic speckle. An ITT version, #F4146M, of this IPD has been tested with a Surface Sciences Instruments model 2401 position computer. Limiting resolution, relative counting efficiency, and linearity have been measured under a variety of operational conditions, and optimum values have been determined. These conditions are presented and discussed in detail. The limiting spatial resolution varies from about 50 um FWHM at the center, to about 65 um FWHM near the edge of the IPD's 25 mm active diameter. The relative counting efficiency is found to be optimized for the same general operating conditions that produce the best spatial resolution, and the IPD and Surface Sciences Instruments position computer system is linear for count rates up to at least 1E4 cps.

The time dependence of a periodical signal is determined by measuring its autocorrelation function and its counting rate distribution. The method is applied to the investigation of highly periodical concentration fluctuations observed in the mixing zone of a triple jet containing CO2 and air.

We have performed small-angle Rayleigh scattering measurements in toluene removed far from equilibrium by a large stabilizing temperature gradient. The experiments demonstrate the existence of long-range density correlations through a strong enhancement of the thermal fluctuations and they also reveal a negative contribution at shorter-time scales from the viscous fluctuations in agreement with the theoretical predictions. The experiments confirm that both effects vary with (∇T)2/q4, where ∇T is the temperature gradient and q the wave number of the fluctuations.

The emphasis in recent years on improvements in the polydisperse analysis problem - that is the recovery of accurate particle size distributions from PCS data, have concentrated on two areas. Firstly the measurement of the correlation points at a logarithmically spaced set of points, that effectively match the collection of data to the distribution of information in exponential functions. Secondly the use of fitting methods that apply constraints either implicitly or explicitly to the range of possible solutions that are evaluated in the fitting process.

The problem of reconstructing a non-negative signal from a finite number of spectral data is a problem of finding an optimal approximation to one function by another. For example, for velocity measurement by crossed beam laser Doppler anemometry, a limited number of channels can provide high quality data on the autocorrelation function of the intensity of the scattered light. However, extrapolation of these data is required in order to estimate velocity distributions narrower than the point spread function determined by the number of channels, e.g. in the case of laminar flow. We describe here methods based on the theory of best approximation in weighted Hilbert spaces, (1). These methods have been under development for some time for use in a variety of 1-D and 2-D estimation problems. A new interpretation of these methods is now possible based on the close analogy between the reconstruction of a non-negative function from finitely many values of its Fourier transform, and the design of approximate Wiener filters,(2).

We present a detailed description of both static and dynamic light scattering from fractal colloid aggregates. By properly including the effects of rotational diffusion, we can account for the shape of the autocorrelation functions measured by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). We show that the first cumulants measured as a function of time and scattering wavevector can be scaled into a single master curve. The shape of this curve is critically dependent on the details of the aggregation process and aggregate structure, and we use this to demonstrate the universality of colloid aggregation.

The feasibility of a direct measurement of sliding of proteins along a DNA chain by the fluorescence photobleaching recovery technique is demonstrated. The results obtained with a protein, histone H1, provides a firm basis for the understanding of the "facilitated diffusion" mechanism by which site-specific DNA binding proteins are thought to find efficiently their unique loci.

In the last several years there has been considerable interest in the structure of aggregates and gels, in large part due to the high interest in the fractal geometry these objects exhibit. Of course, light scattering is commonly used to determine fractal dimensions, so it is natural enough to run the scattered field into an autocorrelator to find out what the dynamics are up to. This seemingly innocent move is the first step in a long journey into the unusual dynamical behaviors exhibited by these fractal systems. Since the dynamics of aggregates and gels are quite different, it will be helpful to discuss them sequentially.
