What Does OPC Stand For?
OPC stands for Optical Particle Counter
An Optical Particle Counter (OPC) is a precision instrument designed to measure and analyze the size and concentration of airborne particles in real time. Utilizing laser light scattering technology, the OPC detects particles by illuminating them with a laser beam and measuring the intensity of scattered light. This data allows for the classification of particles based on their size, making the OPC an essential tool in various industries, including environmental monitoring, cleanrooms, and industrial hygiene, where air quality and particulate contamination are critical concerns.
