a ist the "radius" of a crystal, measured in µm from the middle to one edge. c is the "length" in µm in case of columns and the "thickness" in case of plates.
the radius interval numbers correspond to the values given in the datafiles. The boundaries of the radius intervals are used for integrating optical properties over size distributions.
all sizes are given in µm and the cross sections Q in µm*µm.
