Multichannel Nephelometer.

Abstract

A Multichannel Nephelometer has been designed and built. The instrument records the far-field light scattering pattern for individual aerosol particles in the size range 0.3-10.0 micrometers. The scattering pattern is sampled over a full 4 pi steradian solid angle. Incorporated in the Nephelometer is an aerosol handling system which can sample from a source with particle densities as high as 1000,000/co, dilute this, and present one particle at a time to the light scattering chamber. The Nephelometer design, including the aerosol handling system, light scattering chamber, electronics and software is documented.
