Abstract

1, 248, 169. Particle analyzing apparatus. COULTER ELECTRONICS Ltd. March 14, 1969 [March 18, 1968], No. 13468/69. Heading G1N. In particle analyzing apparatus working on the Coulter principle, two different current sources 9, 10 are employed giving rise to two "companion" pulses per particle which are compared with each other and counted if one exceeds the other by a predetermined factor. One source may be D. C. or low frequency, the corresponding pulses having amplitudes proportional to the volumes of the particles, and the other source may be r.f., the corresponding pulses having amplitudes related to some physical character of the particles, the comparison being arranged so that all the particles of one type are counted while those of a different type are not. In Fig. 1, the two companion pulses from each particle are produced simultaneously, detected in separate channels of a detector 11, and fed to a collator 20. Alternatively Fig. 2 (not shown) the companion pulses may be produced one after the other as a particle passes through a constricted passage having respective electrode pairs arranged on mutually perpendicular, spaced, axes, a delay (18) being included in the channel for the upstream electrode pair. Collators. If the detected pulses are of opposite polarity, a simple weighted summing circuit Figs. 5 and 6 (not shown) may be used, a particle being counted if the summed signals are of a given polarity. In Fig. 7, pulses from one channel A are clipped to reduce noise interference and applied to threshold circuits 40, 140 via variable attenuators 36, 136. Logic circuit 102 produces an output pulse to be counted only when the amplitude of a pulse in channel B lies within a range determined by the amplitude of the companion pulse in channel A and the setting of attenuators 36, 136. The collator may use pulse-stretching instead of clipping Figs. 9 and 10, (not shown). Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1, 185, 898.
