Abstract:
1. A particle characterization cell used for a particle characterization instrument that measures physical properties of particles dispersed in a liquid sample, the particle characterization cell being configured to comprise: a bottom-equipped tubular cell main body that forms an internal space that extends in a longer direction, and has a longer direction one end part that is opened; a pair of applying electrodes that are inserted into the cell main body from the longer direction one end part and arranged so as to face to each other in the internal space; and a fixing spacer that is inserted into the cell main body from the longer direction one end part, intervenes between the pair of applying electrodes to thereby define a distance between the applying electrodes, and presses the pair of applying electrodes against an inner surface of the cell main body to thereby fix the pair of applying electrodes, wherein in a state where the fixing spacer is inserted into the cell main body, in a lower part of the internal space of the cell main body, a particle characterization space in which the pair of applying electrodes is exposed is formed, wherein the cell main body is formed with a light introduction window that introduces the laser light into the particle characterization space.
