2. In the Convert Pulses to Size Settings window:
a.
In the Size Bins field, enter the number of bins you want to use, or select a number of bins
from the drop-down list.
b.
In the from and to fields, enter the low and high limits for the range of particle diameter

button (
(
10% to 60%
)
button if using a 2000-µm aperture, as shown below).
c. In the Bin Spacing pane, select how the Multisizer 4 will determine bin spacing:
• By an incremental count of particle diameters (Linear Diameter)
• By a geometric progression of particle diameter sizes (Log Diameter)
• By a linear progression of particle volume (Linear Volume)
•
By a geometric progression of particle volume size (Log Volume)
