TSI 3330 Optical Particle Sizer

Descriptions of TSI 3330

The TSI Optical Particle Sizer (OPS) 3330 is a light, portable unit that provides fast and accurate measurement of particle concentration and particle size distribution using single particle counting technology. Backed by over 40 years of aerosol instrumentation design experience, the OPS uses state-of-the-art optics with 120° light collection and sophisticated electronics processing resulting in precision, high quality data. Rigorous factory calibration standards ensure measurement accuracy. The model 3330 can be used alone, or it can be placed in TSI’s weatherproof environmental enclosure
