Result of comparing CPC with SMPS.

<p>The solid lines indicate the mean percent difference; the dashed lines indicate ±1.96 standardized deviations (SD) around the mean percent difference; the vertical dashed line represents the CPC's dynamic upper limit; the horizontal dashed line represents a percent difference of 0.</p

Comparison of two Condensation Particle Counters (CPCs) below and above their dynamic upper limits (100,000 #/cc).

<p>The solid lines indicate mean percent difference; the dot-dashed lines indicate ±1.96 standardized deviations (SD) around the mean percent difference; the vertical dashed line represents the CPC's dynamic upper limit; the horizontal dashed line in A represents the CPC's dynamic upper limit; the horizontal dashed line in B represents a percent difference of 0.</p
