The goal of the project was to design and simulate an optical particle counter (OPC) that is able to detect the material of the particles in addition to the PSD. The goal is to prevent the error caused by the difference in the actual and PSL equivalent size distribution of the atmospheric particles.
The extra data needed for this purpose was generated by multi-angular side scattering measurement.
