Equipment Description
The Saturn DigiSizer 5205 System consists of up to two particle size analyzers, each with a
liquid sample handler, an AquaPrep, and one multifunction personal computer. Up to two
MasterTech 052 Autosamplers can be installed, allowing automatic analysis of up to 18
samples each.

The Saturn DigiSizer uses a laser in conjunction
with a CCD (charge-coupled device) containing
over three million detector elements to measure
particle size. These detectors are placed so that
they can measure the intensity of light scattered
by the particles at various angles. Light is
scattered by particles in a pattern dependent on
their size, shape, refractive index, and wave
length of incident light. Based on the Mie
theory, the particle size distribution is calculated
from the angle distribution of the scattered light
intensity collected by the detectors.
