- Abstract
- A new sensitive light-scattering technique for measuring the diameter of transparent droplets is described. In contrast to the usual method of average intensity measurements here the pattern of scattered light is used to determine the droplet size. The intensity distribution is recorded in the forward scattering region over an angle of approximately ten degrees using a linear CCD-array. The evaluation of scattered light, based on the theory of ray optics, is done on-line by a microcomputer. With this technique it is possible to determine the droplet diameter with an accuracy of approximately 2%.
