Particle size distribution measurement device, particle size distribution measurement method, and program for particle size distribution measurement device

Abstract

A centrifugal sedimentation-type particle size distribution measurement device that measures the particle size distribution in a measurement sample by rotating a measurement cell that contains the measurement sample and causing particles in the measurement sample to sediment, said particle size distribution measurement device comprising: a light source that irradiates the measurement cell with light; a scattered light detector that detects the intensity of scattered light caused by the particles in the measurement cell; and a particle size distribution calculation unit that measures the particle size distribution in the measurement sample on the basis of the change over time in the scattered light intensity, said change being caused by the particle sedimentation.
