On the Validity of the Poisson Assumption in Sampling Nanometer-Sized Aerosols

Figures & data

FIG. 1 Count versus sampling time for the tested particle sizes. The gray line indicates the mean count over a 10-s period.

FIG. 2 The PCF for the 10-nm size. The area containing 80% of the simulation values is shown in dark gray while the area containing 100% of the simulation values is shown in light gray. The experimental PCF is represented by black dots.

FIG. 3 The SCI for each particle size.

FIG. 4 The CV values versus sampling time period for the tested particle sizes.

FIG. 5 The normalized posterior distribution from Bayesian inference with sampling time period of 1 s. A total of 100 measurements were used here to form the posterior distributions.
