 Funnel  ・ Measures using small quantities of samples (particles being measured) and liquid
 media (dispersion media).  ・ High-concentration samples can be measured using the laser diffraction method.
 ・  Organic solvents or acids can be used.  ・  Measurement is possible by simply holding the high-concentration sample particles between two glass slides.
 ・  Less liquid waste is disposed of when using suspensions containing organic solvents   ・  Samples for which the particle size distribution would be changed by dilution can be measured in their original state, or with the minimum required level of
