Abstract
A new procedure is suggested for determining the grain size composition of polydispersed powders with a microscope. It is based on dividing the whole size range into four parts. The number of grains in the field of view is determined for each part separately at a magnification level corresponding to each part. The method developed assumes that samples are homogeneous.
