Particle Education

Particle science is a rich field with a number of interesting topics. For length scales ranging from nanometers to millimeters, particles do not behave like pure liquids or large solids. This leads to some interesting analysis challenges. And, of course, understanding various broader topics helps the analyst as well. Here we comment on various aspects of particle analysis and particle science to help you better use your HORIBA analyzer.
