1. A method, comprising:
communicating a particle within a flow path;
collecting first data of the particle at a first location within the flow path;
collecting second data of the particle at a second location within the flow path,
wherein the particle has a first velocity at the first location,
wherein the particle has a second velocity at the second location,
wherein the first velocity differs from the second velocity; and
(i) adding fluid to the flow path at a location between the first location such that the first velocity differs from the second velocity or (ii) withdrawing fluid from the flow path at a location between the first location such that the first velocity differs from the second velocity.
