Bettersizer S3 Plus Particle Size and Shape Analyzer USA
Features:
1. Bettersizer S3 Plus Particle Size and Shape Analyzer Overview
The Bettersizer S3 Plus is a laser diffraction particle size and shape analyzer equipped with two high-speed CCD cameras (0.5X and 10X magnification) to capture images of the sample being measured. During measurement, the particles dispersed in the medium of choice are pumped through two sample cells. In the first one, short-wave laser light (532 nm) illuminates particles and is scattered. The 96 detectors detect optical signals in an angle range of 0.02° – 165°. The CCD cameras continuously take pictures of particles through the second sample cell to provide shape information in the range of 2 to 3500 µm.
2. Patented DLOI (Dual Lenses Oblique Incidence) System: Laser Diffraction
Laser diffraction technology for routine particle size analysis remains the method of choice across various industrial sectors. The Bettersizer S3 Plus applies the patented DLOI system, which is designed based on the Fourier structure to guarantee the accurate measurement of ultrafine particles from 0.01 μm.
Features and Benefits:
- Measures ultrafine particles accurately with the large angular range (0.02 – 165°) with 96 detectors
- Robust optical system with superior resolution using the dual lenses design
- Single short-wave laser system (532 nm) delivers a continuous scattering spectrum with a consistent wavelength
- Zero stabilization and preheating time needed with a solid-state light source
Dynamic image analysis can strengthen your understanding of materials with the comprehensive shape or morphological information that is independent of laser diffraction. Individual particles with specific geometric properties such as agglomerates, crushed particles, and foreign particles can be effectively tracked through the dual-camera system.
Features and Benefits:
- 0.5x and 10x cameras – photograph an extremely wide size range of particles
- High-speed strobe lights – capture up to 10,000 particle images in 60 seconds, offering authentic shape results
- Suitable for measuring heterogeneous samples with unknown optical properties
- DLOI System – precisely measures ultrafine particles down to 0.01 μm
- Dual-camera Imaging System – efficiently detects oversized particles up to 3,500 μm
- 2-in-1 System – simultaneously obtains particle size and shape results
- Fast time-to-result – rapidly generates results in 10 seconds
