A standard set of particles is available for selection in the SOP (using the first
Analysis dialogue). More can be defined by a user, but the following parameters
must be specified accurately:
.
Refractive Index (Real) – describes the amount of scattering that takes
place as a result of light interacting with the particle.
.
Refractive Index (Imaginary) – the imaginary or complex refractive in
-
dex. This describes the amount of absorption that takes place as the light
enters the particle.
.
Density – the density in g/cm
3
. This is used to calculate Specific Surface
Area (SSA). If you want to include the SSA as a derived parameter you
must complete this field.
The residual shown in the Measurement Parameters view indicates how well
the calculated data fitted the measurement data.
