Abstract
A low cost, compact, opto-mechanical system for particle analysis is disclosed. In embodiments of this disclosure, the system includes: a holder configured to rigidly secure a container that contains a liquid sample; an actuator configured to repetitively rotate the holder N degrees in a first direction and M degrees in a second direction different from the first direction, wherein N and M are real numbers greater than zero; a radiation source configured to generate a beam of radiation, the radiation source being rigidly attached to the holder; and a detector configured to receive radiation that is at least one of scattered, reflected, diffracted, refracted, or radiated from one or more particles within the liquid sample in response to the beam of radiation being incident upon the one or more particles.
