Short summary
This paper presents the very first measurements of droplet and particle sizes and concentrations through the parts of an elastic light scatter detector. Measurements were made using two instruments, phase Doppler particle anemometry and an aerodynamic aerosol classifier, to resolve the size distribution of volatile particles upstream and dried particles downstream. The final measurements are used in a companion paper comparison with simulations.
