<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for particle detection and analysis using two-dimensional optical imaging to achieve enhancement of detection sensitivity and expansion of sensing functionality compared to conventional point and array detection-based optical particle counters. <P>SOLUTION: A method and a system provide a two-dimensional optical imaging-based particle sensing platform, and system components and specifications are selected to generate reproducible and easily-recognizable signals including a particle detection signature from optical scattering or emission from particles provided to the system. The method and the system can detect, identify, and characterize (for example, determine the size of) particles in a liquid phase sample or a gas phase sample in an accurate and sensitive manner. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
