    Abstract: APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING SCATTERING OF LIGHT IN PARTICLE DETECTION SYSTEMS In an apparatus in which particles are passed through an optical sensing zone to measure their light scattering characteristics for the purpose of identifying the particles, means and a method are provided for deviating the collected light in accordance with predetermined different paths to a plurality of different photodetecting devices. The deviation is effected simultaneously with collection by optical radiant energy reflecting means. The different photodetecting devices enable the measurement of energy scattered along the particular path which is identified with that device. The paths are established by the combined collecting and deviating means rather than permitted to evolve by the scattering phenomena themselves whereby the photodetecting devices can be located in convenient arrangements and may be conventional in construction.

    Abstract: There is disclosed an illuminator and collector apparatus and method for fluorescence analysis wherein illumination of a stream of particles produces fluorescent light. A reflector, having a concave reflector surface with a first focus disposed in the stream of particles, has reflected therefrom organized illuminating radiation, such radiation converging upon the first focus to stimulate the particles into producing the fluorescent light. The fluorescent light emanates from the first focus, a portion of which is reflected from the concave reflector surface. This fluorescent light which is focused on the second focus contains no (or negligible) amount of illuminating radiation and is collected for subsequent detection and processing.

    Abstract: In an apparatus which develops output signal data, a portion of a liquid containing particles is caused to flow through a sensing zone. Ideally the particles go through one at a time. Each particle sensed generates a particle signal having an amplitude proportional to the size or volume of the particle. The particle signal is utilized for producing the output signal data. The output signal data is a measure of the total volume of particulate matter in a quantity of liquid containing particles and is subject to error due to the occasional simultaneous presence of particles in the sensing zone which is termed coincidence.
