PARTICLE IMAGE ANALYZERS

Advanced particulate materials are becoming very important in the manufacture of high-performance and multi-functional products. Traditionally, these particulate materials have been characterized only by particle size distribution measurements. However, in addition to size information, particle shape information, which affects the various properties of final products, is required for characterization of advanced particulate materials. A particle image analyzer makes it possible to analyze both the size and shape of particles simultaneously, while a laser diffraction particle analyzer measures particle size only.
