Abstract
An apparatus in which the developability of electrostatically charged particles in a mixture of particulate material is measured. The apparatus includes a pair of spaced-apart conductive plates through which at least a portion of the particulate mixture flows. One of the plates is transparent with a member being secured thereto. The transparent plate is electrically biased to attract charged particles thereto. A beam of energy is transmitted through the transparent plate and member. The intensity of the internally reflected beam is detected to provide a measurement of the quantity of charged particles adhering to the transparent plate.
