Part of the book series: Progress in Colloid and Polymer Science ((PROGCOLLOID,volume 113))

Abstract

The polarized-light interference method is applied to visualize a distribution of macromolecule concentrations based on displacements in an ultracentrifugal cell. The optical system based on the Lebedev interferometer is presented. The sensitivity and precision of the system are compared with those of the widely used Schlieren optical system and Rayleigh interference optics when applied to synthetic polymer dilute solutions. Some questions of methodology are discussed.
