Smarter Particle Sizing CLASS-LEADING PARTICLE SIZING PERFORMANCE The Mastersizer 3000 uses the technique of laser diffraction to measure particle size distributions from 10nm up to 3.5mm. Laser diffraction In a laser diffraction measurement a laser beam passes through a dispersed particulate sample and the angular variation in intensity of the scattered light is measured. Large particles scatter light at small angles relative to the laser beam and small particles scatter light at large angles. The angular scattering intensity data is then analyzed to calculate the size of the particles that...
