Abstract
A particle detector including at least one channel intended to receive at least one fluid comprising particles and configured to receive at least one light beam emitted by a light source. The particle detector further including at least one photodetector network configured such that at least some photodetectors receive light beams emitted by the source and scattered by the particles present in the channel. The detector further comprises at least one optical system, each optical system s associated with a photodetector network and has at least one image focal plane and an optical axis. The detector is configured such that the image focal plane of the optical system is optically coupled to the photodetector network.
