Abstract
A sensor system for capturing and specifying individual particles (16) in a fluid includes a measurement cell (14) through which the fluid can flow, a light source (2; 30) that is arranged on the measurement cell (14) and creates a light beam (4; 36) passing through the measurement cell (14), and an intensity sensor (26; 44) that is arranged on the measurement cell (14) opposite the light source (2; 30) such that it captures the light beam exiting the measurement cell (14) and is designed for separately capturing the intensity (IA, IB) of the light beam in at least two different wavelength regions (λA, λB).

16. A sensor system for detecting and specifying individual particles (16) in a fluid, comprising:
-
a measurement cell (14) through which the fluid may flow, a light source (2;
30) which is arranged on the measurement cell (14) and produces a light beam (4;
36) running through the measurement cell (14),an intensity sensor (26;
44) which is arranged on the measurement cell (14) and lying opposite the light source (2;
30) to detect the light beam exiting from the measurement cell (14) and is designed for the separate detection of an intensity (IA, IB) of the light beam in at least two different wavelength regions (λ
A, λ
B), andan evaluation device (28) which is connected to the intensity sensor (26;
44) and which is configured to recognize the type of a particle (16) passing through the light beam by way of the detected intensities (IA, IB) in the two wavelength regions (λ
A;
λ
B). - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
