Very basic question

Dear all

Please excuse this very basic question, I would be very grateful for any 
wisdom you can give.

It is generally accepted that "forward scatter = size" within certain limits; 
shape, refractive index etc.

Does this knowledge come solely from the theoretical physics/optical properties 
of particles in laser beams, or is there any empirical evidence correlating fs 
with coulter volume (or any other size measurement)? I have looked for such 
evidence but have not been able to find any; perhaps it is further back in 
history than I can search.

If anyone knows of any published empirical evidence I would be very grateful if 
you could share it with me.

Thanks in advance
