Abstract

The results of Quantimet measurements of particle perimeter and cross-sectional area are reported. The objective was to determine whether increasing magnification would reveal enough additional detail to cause a significant increase in the measured perimeter. Measurements on particles having simple and relatively complex shapes were compared. Increased perimeters of both particle types were found with increasing magnification, while cross-sectional area estimates remained constant. These curious results are shown to be analogous to the behavior of certain mathematical curves.
