About this document
Mie Theory in Laser Diffraction Analysis by Sire Twigs is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the importance of using Mie theory rather than the Fraunhofer approximation for laser diffraction particle size analysis. It provides two examples where Mie theory produced accurate results for synthetic diamond powder and calcium carbonate, while the Fraunhofer approximation resulted in incorrect bimodal and oversized distributions, respectively. The document advocates for using Mie theory, as advances in computing power have removed limitations and modern instruments have databases
