Two approaches to rapid, single particle sizing for particles in the 1 to 20 ..mu..m diameter range are presented. One method measures multiangle scattered light over a polar angular range of nearly 360 degrees. A second method is based on the analysis of the pulse shapes from small angle forward scattered light. In both cases the particles in liquid suspension are made to pass one at a time through a focused laser beam for analysis.
