Solid‐state light scattering using a red laser source has been applied to the study of spherulitic shells of polyethylene and gelatin. TheHvscattering patterns from a collection of shells are qualitatively similar to that of a spherulite. However a single shell gives a scattering pattern wherein several orders of maxima within the recordable range are visible. The relative intensity of the higher‐order maxima depends on the thickness of the shell. Theoretical scattering patterns have been calculated and are in general agreement with the experimental observation.
