摘要： A distribution of AC electric field regularly arranged in a cell is formed while storing a sample having particles dispersed in a medium in the cell, whereby the particles are dielectrically migrated in the medium to generate a diffraction grating by density distribution of the particles. Diffracted light generated by irradiating the diffraction grating by density distribution with measuring light is detected, and evaluation of dielectrophoretic intensities of the particles and/or the medium is performed from the detection result. According to this method, evaluation of dielectrophoretic characteristics can be performed without adhering a phosphor to particles, and since even a particle small in size can achieve a detection level by collecting a number of such particles to form a diffraction grating, dielectric characteristics of microparticles of several nanometers in diameter can be thus quantitatively measured with high sensitivity.

摘要： Suspended particulate matter in the atmospheric air is sucked into a container by a pump. The suspended particulate matter in the atmospheric air in the container is electrically charged so as to electrically collect it. The collected suspended particulate matter is irradiated with laser beams under the condition that the collected suspended particulate matter is dispersed at an appropriate concentration. A spatial intensity distribution of diffracted and scattered light obtained by irradiating laser beams to the suspended particulate matter is measured. A particle size distribution of the suspended particulate matter P is found from the result of measurement.

摘要： Scattered light obtained by irradiating parallel laser beam to particles to be measured is condensed by a condenser lens in a wide angle area from 0° to over 40°, and an intensity distribution of the light is spatially continuously measured by an optical sensor positioned at a focal point of the condenser lens. Before a particle size distribution is calculated from the measured light intensity distribution, measuring error of the scattered light intensity distribution caused by an aberration by the condenser lens and an attenuation on the optical path is corrected by comparing with data obtained through a ray tracing in advance. Thus, the scattered light in a wider angle area are spatially continuously measured to thereby obtain a light intensity distribution with a high resolution in a submicron area.

摘要： A particle size analyzer based on laser diffraction method is formed of an irradiation optical system for irradiating laser beam to particles, a measurement optical system for measuring a space intensity distribution by receiving light diffracted/scattered by the particles of the laser beam from the irradiation optical system, and an operation portion for obtaining a particle size distribution of the particles from the results measured by the measurement optical system. The irradiation optical system has a semiconductor laser in an output beam wavelength of 300 to 500 nm as a light source. Thus, particles having diameters of the order of sub-microns can be measured.

摘要： A method and apparatus which measures a particle size distribution of each content of powdery contents. Particle size distributions of a plurality of mixtures are calculated by blending the contents in various proportions, referring to the previously measured particle size distribution of each content, then determining the relationship between particular particle sizes in the plurality of particle size distributions and a mixing proportion. A particle size distribution of a mixture blended with the contents is measured, finding the particular particle size in the previously calculated particle size distributions of the mixture, and an actual mixing proportion of the contents in the mixture is estimated from the found particle size and the relations previously determined.
