Schematic of an aerosol injector. The droplets are formed inside the aerosolization chamber from the Rayleigh instability in a thin liquid jet originating from a flow focusing nozzle. The gas necessary for the flow focusing is further used both to create an atmosphere where the droplets are able to evaporate and to provide the stream-lines inside the aerodynamic lens used to focus the particles into a narrow beam. Between the aerosolization chamber and the lens stack, a nozzle-skimmer stage is inserted to limit the gas load inside the lens stack. Adapted from Hantke et al. (2018BB29).
