Abstract
A particle counter for measuring the concentration and particle-size distribution of minute particles in a fluid by irradiating the particles with a laser beam from a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the fluid flow direction and by detecting the light scattered from the particles. The laser beam, prior to irradiating the particles, is flattened with a lens system and its otherwise Gaussian photointensity distribution is converted to a square pattern with a slit member. The light scattered from a central portion of the fluid is detected and formed into a real image with a focusing lens system and a detecting slit that cuts the real image only in the irradiating direction. The scattered light may be detected from a third direction that is substantially perpendicular to the flow direction and the irradiating direction.
