Perhaps temporarily remove your collection nozzle and replace it with a

of a new collection nozzle to encompass the accumulated particle spray

I like it. Perhaps some stripes of Vaseline would catch the particles
and better show the distribution of the spray.

Great idea.
Note the size of the particles...different sizes go different
distances.
