Particle Sizing Technique

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining a particle size within a given medium. The particle size within a given medium is determined using a single wavelength to confirm the known particles sizes within a dispersion, or determined from two wavelengths to calculate the unknown particle sizes of a dispersion. Three wavelengths may be used to determine the unknown particle size of a dispersion of unknown concentration within a medium. The method and apparatus may be used for mono-dispersions and poly-dispersions.
