Abstract

The first prototype of a system for determining the effect of an applied magnetic field to the orientation of an individual asbestos fibre. It comprises a laser beam focussed at it's intersection with a sheathed airflow. A series of optics focus the light to both a pair of linear CMOS arrays (for the capture of spatial light scattering patterns), and a photodiode (for triggering) via a beam-splitter.
