The classification of prolate spheroids with four different aspect ratios under the condition that the particles of every shape have many different refractive indices, equivalent sizes, and mass densities. (a) Optical size D_p versus f_a plot for the particle shape classification. (b) Aerodynamic size D_a versus f_a plot for the particle shape classification.
