Learn more than just particle size with this imaging unit
The Hydro Insight (photo) is a dynamic-imaging accessory for this company’s Mastersizer 3000 particle-sizing instrument. Through real-time particle imaging, this tool helps users to see beyond particle size — powering more in-depth materials research and exciting scientific advances. Sitting alongside the Mastersizer 3000 laser-diffraction system, the Hydro Insight provides live particle images by combining Vision Analytical’s dynamic imaging expertise with this company’s flow-cell technology. Based on these images, it also generates quantitative data on particle shape, alongside particle-size data from the Mastersizer 3000. The combination of high-resolution imaging with high-range laser-diffraction data provides a more comprehensive overview of materials than laser diffraction alone, says the company. — Malvern Panalytical B.V., Almelo, the Netherlands
