contents In this study, our focus is mainly to check the effect of light scattering on the onset of thermal-phototactic-bioconvection in an algal suspension where the suspension is illuminated by the collimated oblique irradiation from above while simultaneously applying heating or cooling from below. We conduct a numerical investigation into the linear stability of a suspension containing phototactic algae, focusing particularly on how the angle of incidence of oblique collimated irradiation influences the system. Our solutions reveal a transition of the most unstable mode from a stationary to an overstable state, or vice versa, under certain parameter configurations as the angle of incidence varies. Additionally, we frequently observe oscillatory instabilities in cases where the upper surface is rigid, particularly as the angle of incidence increases within the suspension.
