Comparison of the particle size distribution curves determined manually and automatically in an accurately calibrated Coulter Counter.
An accurately calibrated Coulter Counter, Model ZB Industrial, was used to compare the size distribution curves of seven different standard particles obtained by calculation and after the attachment of a Channelyser, Model C-1000 coupled to an XY recorder. Comparisons were made at the modes of the curves and it was found that the automatic method consistently reported the particles to be slightly larger.
