摘要:
In an electrophotographic or electrostatic image forming device, the toner concentration of a two-component developer, i.e., a mixture of toner and carrier is measured on the basis of an output of a magnetic bridge type concentration sensor responsive to the magnetic permeability of the developer. The sensor has a surface whose mean roughness along the center line is less than 0.4 .mu.m Ra.

Carrier particles are disclosed for use in a two-component dry-type developer for developing latent electrostatic images to visible images, for use in electrophotography, electrostatic recording methods and electrostatic printing methods, which carrier particles are coated with a silicone resin coating layer having high resistance to abrasion and the so-called "spent phenomenon" while in use, and which therefore can be used repeatedly for a long period of time, yielding developed images with high quality. The high resistance to abrasion of the silicone resin coating layer is attained by adding to the silicone coating layer, as an inorganic fortifying agent against abrasion, silicon carbide or potassium titanate.
