What Types of Particle Counters Are Used in Nanotechnology?
Several types of particle counters are used in nanotechnology, each with specific applications and advantages. Optical particle counters are widely used for their high sensitivity and ability to detect particles in real-time. Scanning Mobility Particle Sizers (SMPS) are specialized instruments that measure aerosol particles’ size distribution by classifying them based on their electrical mobility. Differential Mobility Analyzers (DMA) are another type of particle counter that separates particles based on their electrical mobility, often used in conjunction with SMPS for detailed analysis.
