Online 3D Characterization of Micrometer-Sized Cuboidal Particles in Suspension.

Characterization of particle size and shape is central to the study of particulate matter in its broadest sense. Whilst 1D characterization defines the state of the art, the development of 2D and 3D characterization methods has attracted increasing attention, due to a common need to measure particle shape alongside size. Herein, ensembles of micrometer-sized cuboidal particles are studied, for which reliable sizing techniques are currently missing.
