A short flash of light illuminates a screen, which acts as a bright background behind the subject spray. The flash freezes the motion of the particles, allowing blur-free visualization of drop size and shape. A digital camera captures an image of the droplets which is then transferred to a computer where high-speed real-time particle sizing software analyses the images obtained in order to build up the diameter distribution.
Individual Particle Measurements
Unlike Laser Diffraction systems, VisiSize systems measure individual particles as they pass through the measurement volume. There is no curve-fitting, no approximation and no large particles are ignored.
Velocity Measurement
Discover how fast your particle stream is actually moving. Correlate droplet size against velocity to see which particles are the fastest.
Simple Calibration
Our complete systems come with standard calibrations, verified in the lab, to reduce set-up time and help prevent calibration errors. All you need to do is select the correct calibration file in the software, and your system is fully calibrated to measure in and out-of-focus droplets.
Out of Focus Measurement
Our powerful size measurement algorithm is able to measure droplets and particles whether they are in focus or not. Our software corrects for the blurred particles and reports the particle diameter as if it were perfectly in focus. This means that a VisiSize system can measure particles in a three-dimensional volume, not a two-dimensional plane.
