Abstract
The particle Doppler shift spectrometer (PDSS) can be used to make an internally calibrated Size measurement of aerosol particles. For low number concentrations of spherical particles, an accurate size distribution can be determined for particles from 3-30 mum diameter. In this work the PDSS is used to calibrate a commerical optical particle counter.
