Which methods can be used for particle size analysis?

The most commonly used techniques for particle size determination are:

1. laser diffraction (LD)
2. static and dynamic image analysis (SIA, DIA)
3. dynamic light scattering (DLS)

Other approaches to particle size analysis are:

1. Gravity Sedimentation Particle Size 
2. Analysis
3. Sieving 
4. Coulter Principle
5. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
6. Light Obscuration (LO)
7. Ultrasonic Extinction
8. Time of Flight (TOF)
9. Fisher Sub Sieve Sizer
