Fibers can be counted and sized in the presence of other particle shapes using a modified Coulter Counter tube. With the modifications, only particles of a pre-selected projected area reach the sensor. Since particle volume is sensed, particles with volumes greater than the unit volume corresponding to the projected area are fibers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
