DUAL CAMERA TECHNOLOGY MICROTRAC’s unique dual camera technology is a landmark in the development of Dynamic Image Analysis. By simultaneously employing two cameras with different magnifications, extremely wide dynamic measuring ranges are achieved. This is accomplished without hardware adjustments or modifications and without compromising accuracy. The ZOOM camera analyzes fine particles with highest precision whereas the BASIC camera detects the larger particles with excellent statistics. A special algorithm combines the information provided by both cameras and delivers the exact size distribution...

MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE Two cameras operate simultaneously during measurement: analyzes the larger particles; the ZOOM camera (red) captures the small particles. This procedure ensures optimum measurement conditions for all particle sizes in a sample.

MODULAR X-CHANGE SYSTEM FOR MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY Correct sample preparation and dispersion of the particles before passing into the measurement zone are as important as the actual analysis. Particularly for fine powders which tend to agglomerate, sufficient dispersion is crucial to the reliability of the measurement results. Therefore, various modes of sample feeding help to achieve separation of the agglomerates without destroying individual particles. The CAMSIZER X2+ offers three dispersion options: I Dispersion by compressed air The X-Jet module disperses the sample via a Venturi nozzle and...

The CAMSIZER X2+’s modular “X-Change” system offers three alternative dispersion options, permitting the selection of the optimum method for each sample type. The user may choose between wet dispersion with X-Flow or dry measurement either in free MODULAR DESIGN FOR MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY X-Jet Air pressure dispersion X-Dry fall with X-Fall or in an air flow with X-Jet. The modules and cartridges are quickly and easily exchanged which makes working with the CAMSIZER X2+ convenient and safe. X-Fall Gravity dispersion AIR PRESSURE DISPERSION WITH X-JET Feed hopper Many materials tend to agglomerate...

WET MEASUREMENT WITH X-FLOW Measuring range LEDs Liquid level sensor Flow cell The wet module X-Flow analyzes suspensions in a size range from 0.9 µm to 1 mm. The sample moves within a closed loop from the dispersion bath to the flow cell where the camera system captures the particle images. X-Flow comes with an ultrasonic bath and strong centrifugal pump to ensure efficient dispersion. Suitable Dispersion bath Basic camera dispersion media are water, alcohol, and also nonpolar organic solvents. Analysis of suspensions and emulsions Effective dispersion with ultrasound Ultrasonic probe Zoom camera...

A WEALTH OF ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OPTIONS All parameters at a glance: Dynamic Image Analysis provides comprehensive information about the sample material to be analyzed. The high-performance DIMENSIONS software package measures dozens of parameters from every single particle and presents the results in a clearly structured, standard-compliant measurement report. Functions like the comprehensive export option and the generation of synoptical tables or trend analyses are routine procedures. Storage and automatic monitoring of predetermined product specifications are also part of the software....
