Conclusions
1. The particles have a spherical shape with a difference in the sample mean value of the minimum and “normal” sizes within the resolution of the system. The coefficient of variation of the linear dimensions of the particles of the suspension is 8–9% and considerably exceeds that required.
2. The investigated latices cannot be used for certifying optical analyzers, since about 50% of the particles of the suspension have an optical density not correlated with the geometric parameters of the particles.
3. The system permits conducting works on the solution of problems of the metrological provision of analyzers with flow-type detectors. Further work should be carried out in the direction of the more complete use of existing programs and in a methdological direction, consisting not only in the improvement of the existing but also in the development of new methods of specimen preparation and analysis of objects, for example, observation in a flow.
