Functional purpose of the equipment
For the dynamic formation of the image of particles, and obtaining an idea of the dispersion of particles
Motivation of the need for equipment
The Particle Insight Shape Module is coupled in series with the Liquid Dispersion Module of the Mastersizer 3000 Particle Size Analyzer. The module complements the laser diffraction particle size data results of the Mastersizer 3000 analyzer and provides particle size distribution information to the particle images. , their quantitative data, data on the shape of particles. The advantages of this module include the provision of high-speed dynamic imaging technology with high resolution: a digital camera with a speed of up to 127 FPS and a resolution of up to 5 MP, obtaining images of individual particles and liquid dispersions of particles from 1 to 800 μm, the ability to create thumbnails of images, their save for review after run, obtain quantitative data on particle size and shape, including data on particle width and elongation.
