Time (N° 1) and Space (N° 2) Resolved Degree of Correlation :

“Multispeckle” Light Scattering experiments (Single Scattering)

• N°1 Far field – Several q ( 4337 cm-1 _{< q < 52177 cm}-1_{) – Time Resolved Dynamics – V}⇔ All the scattering volume

⇔ All the speckled image

• N°2 Imaging geometry – Single q (q = 104_cm-1_{) – Time and Space Resolved Dynamics – V}⇔ Portion of the

scattering volume ⇔ Portion of the speckled image
