One must not confuse the tyndall with the absorption curve for CS. They tyndall drops off rapidly with decreasing particle size, and with increasing wavelength. Thus a blue beam will show a great deal more tyndall than a red beam (that is why the sky and skim milk appear blue). But I think the

I just wanted to tell someone: we have a beautiful T.E. in our CS. We used an ordinary flashlight, but in the dark, which I hadn't done before. On 9 Aug 2000, at 16:37, blue_eyes wrote: > Yes, I understand the need for a nice > coherent beam if a person is going to eyeball > it for the Tyndall

Hi "Ole Bob", Yes, I understand the need for a nice coherent beam if a person is going to eyeball it for the Tyndall effect. I was thinking more along the lines of having red,green and blue LEDs on one side of the cell and light sensors on the other side to measure the light transmission changes

Hi Blue eyes; One needs laser diodes for this purpose and they come in 635 to 685 nanometers which is in the IR zone. NEC manufacture on page 54 of Mouser cat. I t might be possilbe to rig up a set of optics to focus the beam from a standard diode but it wont be simple. So the hunt is still on

Hi Folks, I just checked the Mouser Electronics catalogue (on compact disk) and found "regular" LEDs that are blue (430nm), green (565nm), yellow (585nm) and red (660nm). We could be on to something here. David rogalt...@aol.com wrote: >Snip< > I was wondering if anyone knew
