Abstract
The present research report describes the development of a new particle collector system. Copper oxide whiskers that have been grown on fine meshed and highly transparent bronze wire nets are the collectors in this process. After the sampling by means of a probe from gaseous flows an absolute determination of shape and size is provided by electron microscope pictures of the individual meshes where liquid-droplets or solid particles adhesively stick to the whiskers. As experiments have shown, whisker collectors are especially suited for the analysis of fine aerosols below 1 micron and of droplets as well as for the determination of the shape of the collected particles. In connection with isokinetic sampling, whisker collectors can also be used for absolute calibration of optical particle sizers with real aerosols. The suction probes and pump units especially developed for isokinetic sampling are also described in the present report as well as the method of growing the whiskers and the methods for picture analysis of particle-loaded whisker nets.
