An iris diaphragm is used to bundle the light from a torch, which is then passed through a glass beaker filled with sample solution. In a pure sodium chloride solution, the beam of light is invisible. In a polymer solution, however, scattered light is clearly visible from the side. This so-called 'Tyndall effect' occurs only if the size of the dissolved particles falls within the range of the wavelength of visible light. The test procedure describes how to proceed using a polymer solution, but the test can also be run for a biology class in the same way using a filtered egg white solution.
