Abstract
The Small Angle Scattering from inhomogeneous particles is very important i n the investigation of biological systems, where the scattering objects mig ht be formed by many domains. For these systems, the scattering intensity, as well as its Fourier transform, are written as a sum of different contrib utions. In this work, for the simple case of two domains, the form factors of different scattering particle shapes, such as the oblate, prolate and bi axial ellipsoids, spherocylinder and disks were calculated by using a Monte Carlo method. Finally, SAS data of sodium lauryl sulfate micelles in water were analysed by using a model that accounts for polydispersity and micell es of different shape.
