Abstract
A multi-channel particle counting system corrects for coincidence errors by generating at least a first subtractive correction factor for any channel by taking counts from only channels that are lower than the particular channel being corrected. Optionally a second additive correction factor may be generated based on counts in all channels. The correction factor (s) are then, respectively subtracted from, or added to, the individual channel counts to generate an approximation of the true channel by channel counts.
