ABSTRACT:
A plurality of micropillars (2) arranged in a plurality of rows (4, 6, 8) are provided. When a particle-laden fluid stream is caused to flow through the micropillars, at least a portion of the particles impacts and becomes deposited on the micropillars' surfaces while the fluid stream is deflected aside. The deposited particles may subsequently be collected.
