to ISO 22 with no counter saturation.

How does icountLaserCM work?

– Theparticlesaremeasuredbyaphotodiodethatconverts

light intensity to a voltage output which is recorded against

time.

– As the particle moves across the window the amount of

light lost is proportional to the size of the particle. This

reduction in voltage is measured and recorded.

– This “voltage” lost relates directly to the area of the particle

measured, is changed into a “positive” voltage and then in

turn changed into a capacitance value.

– This value is counted and stored in the icountLaserCM

computerinoneof6channelsaccordingtoparticlesize.

A focused light source is

projected through a moving

column of oil.
