Abstract
A particle-size distribution measuring apparatus and method is provided for suspending a sample containing particles in a fluid and introducing the suspended particles into a sample cell. The sample cell is illuminated with light from a laser source and the diffracted light from the particles is measured by an optical detector array. A computer circuit is capable of computing a plurality of graphs of particle-size distribution in repetitive measurement over a predetermined time period. A video display discloses the plurality of graphs in a juxtapositioned arrangement or stacked arrangement to enable the observer to distinguish between any variations in adjacent graphs.
