1.1 Description of the instrument

Figure 1. The Aethalometer® Model AE33.
Magee Scientific and Aerosol Co. are pleased to announce the 'Next Generation'
Aethalometer®, Model AE33. This development incorporates scientific and technical
advances designed to offer improved measurement performance, user features,
communications and interface, and the ability to perform routine performance tests to verify
correct operation. Most importantly, the instrument incorporates the patented DualSpot™
measurement method. This provides two significant advantages: elimination of the changes
in response due to 'aerosol loading' effects; and a real-time calculation of the 'loading
compensation' parameter which offers insights into aerosol optical properties, and has been
interpreted in models of aerosol origins and aging.
