More Information
Summary:One aspect is an apparatus for analyzing particles a capillary as a measuring cell with a hollow channel for receiving or passing through a test sample containing the particles includes a light source for generating a light beam, an optical device for coupling the light beam into the hollow channel at an input point for the purpose of illuminating the test sample, and a detector for detecting scattered light exiting the hollow channel. In one aspects, the hollow channel has an internal diameter DH in the range of 10 μm to 60 μm, that the light beam has a radial light intensity distribution with a minimum beam diameter DL, wherein the following applies to the diameter ratio DL/DH: 0.05<DL/DH<2.00, and that the light beam has an angle of incidence of less than 2 degrees in relation to the hollow channel's longitudinal axis on entering the hollow channel.
