Aethalometer
Model AE33
1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Magee Scientific and Aerosol are pleased to present the 'Next Generation' Aethalometer®,
Model AE33. This development incorporates scientific and technical advances which 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.
