title: Light scattering with stream-in-air flow systems.
abstract: Both forward angle and 90 degrees light-scattering measurements have been used for cell sizing with stream-in-air flow systems with very little theoretical base for the measurements. Mie theory calculations are compared with measurements on plastic microspheres. Detector response for homogeneous spheres is shown to be sensitive to refractive index.
