Size distributions of starch granules can be determined by microscopes, sieves, sedimentation methods, and Coulter Counter. Data obtained form discontinuous relative or cumulative expressions of weight or number distributed according to particle diameter or volume. Using a hypothetical example, the permitted transformations of data are described as a basis for comparison of results by several analytical methods. The definition of bimodality of size distribution and the precision of distributive analyses are briefly considered.
