The disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for detecting properties of heterogeneous samples, including detecting properties of particles or fluid droplets in industrial processes. Embodiments disclosed include a heterogeneous fluid sample characterization method, comprising: inserting a probe into a first of a plurality of heterogeneous fluid samples; drawing at least a first portion of the first sample into the probe and past a two-dimensional array detector; illuminating the first portion of the first sample as it is drawn past the two-dimensional array detector; acquiring at least a first image of the first portion of the first sample as it is drawn past the two- dimensional array detector; inserting the probe into a second of the plurality of heterogeneous samples; drawing at least a first portion of the second sample into the probe and past a two-dimensional array detector; illuminating the first portion of the second sample as it is drawn past the two-dimensional array detector in the fluid; and acquiring at least a first image of the first portion of the second sample as it is drawn past the two-dimensional array detector in the fluid.
