SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF WATERBORNE PARTICLES USING A MULTIPLE ANGLE LIGHT SCATTERING (MALS) INSTRUMENT

摘要

A particle detection system to identify and classify particles is programmed to capture digitized images of the particle generated by directing a light source through a fluid that includes the particle. The particle scatters the light and the scattered light is detected using a detector. The detector creates a digital signal corresponding to the particle, which is used by the system to generate biological optical signal. This biological optical signal can then be used to classify the event, or particle.
