Abstract
Error contour charts are derived from a comparison of the Mie theory for light scattering by spheres with the Fraunhofer diffraction prediction for the forward-scattered lobe. It is concluded that forward lobe particle sizing methods are accurate for quite small particles, particularly if they are absorbing, but that problems may arise with refractive indices close to unity.Keywords
