For researchers, particularly from the field of soft condensed matter, scattering techniques are an important element for the characterization of a wide variety of systems. Light scattering (LS) is suitable to determine the overall particle shape and size, however, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) provides information of the internal structure. The big difference between these two methods is the concentration range in which the samples are characterized. Conventional LS-experiments can only be performed on diluted samples to assure that only single-scattered light is detected, while for a SANS-measurement highly concentrated samples are required. In order to measure highly concentrated samples with LS, a 3D-LS setup is used, where multiple scattering is eliminated by performing two simultaneously light scattering experiments. Currently a combination of 3D-LS with a small-angle neutron scattering instrument (V16) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum in Berlin is build up to measure simultaneously two different scattering experiments on the same sample.
