How LISST Works! [Sequoia, April 14, 2011] Laser Diffraction 101 Sequoia realizes that for some people, the principle behind laser diffraction seems difficult to understand. The purpose of this article and ‘Laser Diffraction 201’...
Can I use the LISST-STX as a LISST-100X? How? [Sequoia, March 11, 2011] Sequoia’s LISST-STX is an instrument designed for measuring the settling velocities of suspended sediment in situ. In order to accomplish this, we have fitted...
The Influence of Particles Outside the Size Range of the LISST [Sequoia, February 23, 2011] A question that Sequoia often gets asked is: What happens when the suspension contains particles outside the measurement range? The short answer...
How does µl/l and mg/l compare? [Sequoia, April 7, 2010] A question that Sequoia often gets asked is: How does the volume concentration (in units of µl/l) from the LISST compare to mass concentration in mg/l? And how do I convert...
