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 8):
A system for measuring properties of a sample of collected particulates, said system comprising:\n two or more resonators each including a surface, an electronic oscillator circuit having an output proportional to a natural resonant frequency of the resonator, and an associated source of electromagnetic radiation configured to illuminate the surface, where a first resonator of the two or more resonators includes a first resonator having a first surface configured to accept the sample, and where a second resonator of the two or more resonators includes a second resonator having a second surface configured to not accept the sample, and a processor programmed to\n control the illumination of the first surface and the second surface by the source of electromagnetic radiation, \n accept the output from the electronic circuit of the first resonator and the output from the electronic circuit of the second resonator, and \n determine a property of the sample accepted on the first surface.
