Abstract:
A system and method are described for determining properties of particulates. The device collects particulates on the surface of an oscillating balance and compares the natural resonant frequency of the balance with the particulates with a balance without particulates. In addition, the collected particulates are illuminated with light that is absorbed by the particulates. This causes the balance to heat up, affecting the natural resonant frequency. A comparison of the natural resonant frequencies reveals optical properties of the collected particulates, which may be used to speciate the particulates.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for measuring properties of a sample of collected particulates, said system comprising:\n a first resonator including a first surface configured to accept the sample and a first electronic oscillator circuit having a first output proportional to a first natural resonant frequency of the first resonator; a second resonator including a second surface that is configured to not accept the sample and a second electronic oscillator circuit having a second output proportional to a second natural resonant frequency of the second resonator; a third resonator including a third surface having an optical coating and configured to not accept the sample and a third electronic oscillator circuit having an third output proportional to a third natural resonant frequency of the first resonator; a source of electromagnetic radiation configured to illuminate the first surface, the second surface, and the third surface; and a processor programmed to\n control the illumination of the first surface, the second surface, and the third surface by the source of electromagnetic radiation, \n accept the first output, the second output, and the third output, and \n determine a property of the sample accepted on the first surface.
