The use of a dyestuff (Naphthol Green B) in gelatine, coated on the slides of a cascade impactor, provides a method for determining the drop‐size distribution of fogs and water sprays which is easy to apply in practice and gives a permanent record for subsequent microscopic analysis. Calibration of the stain remaining after evaporation of a droplet impacting on the slide shows it to be, on the average, 2.5 times the diameter of the droplet. The method can be readily used for droplets of less than 1 μ diameter.
