The Use of Index-Matched Beads in Optical Particle Counters
In this paper, we demonstrate the use of 2-pyridinemethanol (2P) aqueous solutions as a refractive index matching liquid. The high refractive index and low viscosity of 2P-water mixtures enables refractive index matching of beads that cannot be index matched with glycerol-water or sucrose-water solutions, such as silica beads that have the refractive index of bulk fused silica or of polymethylm...
متن کاملThe Conference on Optical Characterization of Atmospheric Aerosols Miniature, low-cost optical particle counters
A range of miniature, low-cost optical particle counters for characterizing atmospheric particles has been developed. They are intended for use with disposable balloon-borne radiosondes, dropsondes or in dense ground-based sensor networks. Versions exist that are suitable for determining the size distributions and number concentrations of cloud particles or atmospheric aerosols such as mineral ...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium pattern selection in particle sedimentation
In this paper, we explain some well known experimental observations in fluid solid interaction from a thermodynamic perspective. In particular we use the extremum of the rate of entropy production to establish the stability of specific patterns observed in single and multiparticle sedimentation in an infinite fluid and the sedimentation of spheres in the presence of walls. While these phenomena...
متن کاملEfficiency of light-scattering aerosol particle counters.
The counting efficiency as a function of particle size has been calculated for a particular forward scattering aerosol particle counter that uses white light illumination for spherical particles with indexes of refraction 1.33-0i, 1.40-0i, 1.50-0i, 1.592-0i, 1.50-0.05i, 1.50-0.1i, 1.50-0.5i, and 1.95-0.66i. The counting efficiency differs from 100% because of statistical effects: photoelectron ...
متن کاملDynamic stereo microscopy for studying particle sedimentation.
We demonstrate a new method for measuring the sedimentation of a single colloidal bead by using a combination of optical tweezers and a stereo microscope based on a spatial light modulator. We use optical tweezers to raise a micron-sized silica bead to a fixed height and then release it to observe its 3D motion while it sediments under gravity. This experimental procedure provides two independe...
