Abstract

In this paper we present a technique to measure the anisotropy parameter a suspension of microscopic particles. To estimate this parameter we use an integrating sphere as light collector, as well as a powder sample spherical particles of TiO$ _2 $ with an average diameter $ a = 0.25 \ \mu $m. The results for the sample of TiO$ _2$ are consistent with Mie calculations.
