摘要: To provide a particle size measuring device that enables simple in-line measurement of the particle size even in a case of nano-sized particles during dispersion. Provided is a particle size measuring device which measures the particle size of particles that perform Brownian motion in a dispersion medium. The particle size measuring device includes a transparent column which accommodates a dispersion medium therein; a laser light irradiating unit which irradiates the dispersion medium in the column with laser light; an imaging unit which includes a camera that images the dispersion medium in the column; an image analyzing unit which acquires a displacement of corresponding particles from at least a plurality of images captured at a predetermined time interval Δt; and a calculating unit which calculates the particle size based on the fact that a root mean square value of the displacement is proportional to kBT/3πηd where kB represents a Boltzmann constant, T represents an absolute temperature, η represents a viscosity coefficient of the dispersion medium, and d represents the particle size.

摘要: A measuring method enabling simple and accurate measurement of a flow velocity distribution in a flow field inside a flow passage of an optical cell and a particle size-measuring method using the measuring method are provided. Providing a tracer particle of a smaller size than wavelength λ of laser light into the flow passage and capturing a bright spot attributed to light scattering from tracer particles by camera, and obtaining the flow velocity distribution by the analysis unit by obtaining an amount of movement of each tracer particle from movement of the bright spot and correcting a Brownian motion component from a correlation between an average value of variations of the amount of movement and Brownian motion are performed.

摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a particulate observation device using light scattering, which includes a means for determining the three-dimensional position of a particle, and can measure an accurate particle size or impart various properties of same. The present invention is characterized by including a position determination means which captures, with an optical microscope, an image of light scattered from particles in a dispersion medium to which laser light is emitted, and determines a three-dimensional position of each particle from the obtained two dimensional image, wherein the position determination obtains two-dimensional coordinates along the two-dimensional image from luminescent point positions of the particles, and determines the depth position along a coordinate axis vertical to the two-dimensional image from the diameters of diffraction fringes of the luminescent points.

摘要: For an easy calibration using calibration particles, provided is a measuring device to capture images of target objects. An image analyzer acquires multiple images obtained at a predetermined time interval, (a) specifies the mean-square displacement of a bright point of a calibration particle based on the displacement of the bright point of the calibration particle in the multiple images in a calibration mode, and (b) specifies the mean-square displacement of a bright point of the target particle based on the displacement of the bright point of the target particle in the multiple images in a measurement mode. A particle size analyzer (c) derives the particle size of the target particle from the mean-square displacement of the bright point of the target particle based on the mean-square displacement of the bright point of the calibration particle and the particle size of the calibration particle in an analysis mode.
