Zusammenfassung:This paper considers the theory of diffraction image formation of spherical particles and peculiarities of particle sizing by discrete imaging probes. The diffraction images of spherical water droplets are approximated by Fresnel diffraction by an opaque disc. The approach developed in the paper is applicable to all types of array and matrix imaging probes. The analysis measurement accuracy is performed for the PMS Optical Array Prove (OAP)-2D-C and OAP-2Dgray probes.
