Coulter Principle

The Coulter Principle utilizes an electric field to draw particles across an aperture of defined size and measure the electric pulses generated. The pulses are converted for size distribution and concentration measurements of particle suspended solutions.

Dynamic Light Scattering

Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS), also referred to as dynamic light scattering, is a technique used to determine the diffusion coefficient of small particles in a liquid.

FTIR Microscopy

Our FTIR microscope can be used to identify the chemical composition of particles as well as provide some size measuring.

Laser Diffraction

Measuring the size of particles in suspended liquids or in dry powder format can be accomplished using particle size analysis based on light scattering techniques.

Optical Microscopy

If the particles are large enough, even optical microscopy can be used to measure the size of particles.

Raman Microscopy

The confocal microscope on out WiTec Raman is capable of observing particles.

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

The SEM is capable of analyzing surface morphology, metallurgy, particle sizing, surface roughness and micro/nano dimensional measurement areas.
