LY-9610 Imaging Unit Accessory

Observe particles in real time as they circulate in the Partica LA-960V2 wet system. Better understand dispersions and extract image based shape and size information to complement laser diffraction results. The small integrated unit fits neatly inside the Partica LA-960V2 without increasing the instrument footprint.

$Comparison of results between laser diffraction and image analysis$

Laser diffraction is a popular method for particle characterization. Coupled with an image analysis unit, we can compare in real time the classical values of D10, 50, 90 and get information about the shape or dispersion state of our particles, thus proving the usefulness of this complementary technique.
