✦ Synopsis


The application of genetic algorithms to the inversion of static light-scattering (SLS) measurements is investigated. The approach is illustrated using simulated data on samples with unimodal, bimodal, and trimodal distributions of spherical particles. Particles having diameters in the range from 100 to 4000 nm are treated. Results are compared with other inversion procedures. It is found that genetic algorithms yield very good results in this situation.
