Imaging Particle Analysis – Industrial Applications

Industrial applications have long driven the development of particle analysis technologies, and have been using these technologies in R&D and production for decades. However, most of these technologies are based upon volumetric-driven, indirect measurements. These systems measure something proportional to particle volume, and then convert this into an Equivalent Spherical Diameter (ESD) based upon the equivalent volume. Imaging Particle Analysis systems, such as FlowCAM, go well beyond this basic capability in further characterizing each particle with multiple shape attributes and gray scale information as well. FlowCAM gives you the answer to the question:

What’s Under the Curve?

Most particle analyzers show you a distribution of particle size only. FlowCAM^® is the imaging-based particle analysis system that gives you a picture of every particle measured.

VisualSpreadsheet^© software allows you to interactively view every particle image contained in the distribution. Filter and sort particle images just like you would in a spreadsheet. Use powerful pattern recognition algorithms to identify and quantitate
individual particle types in a heterogeneous sample.
