The Hydro Insight is a dynamic imaging accessory that sits alongside the Mastersizer 3000+, providing insights that go beyond particle size distribution to particle images and quantitative particle shape data. In this way, it helps scientists, researchers, and quality-control managers understand their materials better, develop methods faster, and simplify troubleshooting. The Hydro Insight is an extra pair of eyes in the lab - giving you an extraordinary view of your samples in dispersion, individual particle images, and quantitative particle shape data. The Hydro Insight is designed to work alongside the Mastersizer 3000, providing particle images and particle shape data to complement the particle size data from laser diffraction. High-speed, high-resolution dynamic imaging technology: 127-frames-per-second digital camera with up to 5 megapixel resolution Imaging of individual particles and liquid particle dispersions Thumbnail images saved for post-run viewing Quantitative data on particle size and shape, including particle width and elongation data Laser diffraction is a valuable tool for particle size analysis. But to develop truly high-performance products, scientists often need a more comprehensive overview than laser diffraction alone can provide. Specifically, to understand what influences packing, flow, and dissolution rate, researchers need to understand how the combination of particle size and shape affects their materials’ behavior. The camera takes images of the suspended particles in the analysis cell, converts them to a digital format, and sends the information to the software for final analysis in real time.
