Detecting device for small corpuscles, e.g. optical counting of small corpuscles, particularly grains of seed produced, has optical sensor, which is assigned to detect corpuscles
The device has an optical sensor, which is assigned to detect corpuscles and matches a measuring space that is arranged in a supply line (8), and is pneumatically acted. The light passage is interrupted between a light emitter and a light detector of the sensors. A constriction of the supply line is also provided immediately before the measuring space. The diameter is reduced to 0.5-5 millimeter on a section smaller than 10 millimeter by narrowing of the supply line.
