Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for determining the size d of a transparent particle, according to which method the particle is illuminated with light from a light source, a radiation detector measures a time-resolved intensity profile of light of the light source scattered by the particle, a reflection peak (10) and a refraction peak are determined in the intensity profile and the size d of the particle is determined based on a time difference between the reflection peak (10) and the refraction peak. The method according to the invention is characterized in that the time-resolved intensity profile is measured at a definable scattering angle θs, a first second-order refraction peak (11) and a second second-order refraction peak (12) having a mode different from that of the first refraction peak (11) being determined, a characteristic variable γ being determined as the ratio of a first time difference Δt01 between the reflection peak (10) and the first refraction peak (11) and of a second time difference Δt02 between the reflection peak (10) and the second refraction peak (11), and the size of only those particles being determined for which the characteristic variable γ corresponds to a definable value.
