Abstract :
We present an effective direct extraction method for particle size distribution based on Bayesian inference theory with a free-form model. We give an example of the application to the particle size distribution analysis in ferrofluid consisting of cobalt particles in toluene. The method gives a unique solution to the distribution without assuming the shape of the distribution of the particle size
