For maximum accuracy, compute the actual particle concentration according to the
following equation:
N
a
=
N
i
exp (N
a
Q t)
where
N
a
= the correct concentration (particles/cm
3
)
N
i
= the indicated concentration (particles/cm
3
)*
Q
= 46.7

/s
t
= 0.25 microsecond is the effective time each particle resides in
the viewing volume
The
N

in the exponent can be approximated by

Calibrating the CNC
Apart from the optics alignment, the initial factory checkout of the electronics, and
the periodic flow verification, the CNC requires no calibration. The flow is
controlled by a critical orifice, and thus, no
