| Abstract: | Mie scattering theory is used to calculate the relative optical responses for latex and water particles in the diameter range 0.3 to 15 μm, using geometry applicable to a Royco 225 Optical Particle Counter. The results are presented in a way that permits direct correction of the instrumental calibration curve for the refractive index differences associated with the calibration and sample aerosol particles |
