Conclusions on Building a State of the Art Laser Diffraction Analyzer

The HORIBA LA-950 particle size analyzer uses the laser diffraction method to measure size distributions. This technique uses first principles to calculate size using light scattered off the particle (edge diffraction) and through the particle (secondary scattering refraction). The LA-950 incorporates the full Mie scattering theory to cover the widest size range currently available. Wide measurement ranges, fast analyses, exceptional precision, and reliability have made laser diffraction the most popular modern sizing technique in both industry and academia.
