To follow the development of particle morphology, silica soot is extracted from four axial positions in the flame of a torch used to manufacture optical fiber preforms by the vaporphase axial deposition method. The soot, collected by three extraction techniques, is analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and gas adsorption to identify which characteristics of the soot morphology are dependent on the sampling technique and which upon the position in the flame. Comparison is also made to other work in which silica soot was extracted from a nondiffusion flame.
