Automated Imaging

Most particle size measurement technology methods are based on the assumption
of spherical shaped particles. This hypothesis leads to significant errors in
the imaging particle analysis if the particles are flake or rod-shaped.
Especially for such highly form-anisotropic particles, automated imaging
provides an excellent alternative for the determination of tailor-made size
specifications.

Particle size measurement techniques for the determination of the particle size
distribution of a material offers a fundamental advantage over alternative
methods such as static light scattering, sedimentation or sieving: Each
particle is photographed individually! This results in several important
advantages for the determination of the particle size distribution:

Realistic proportional values also at the edges of the size distribution, i. e.
detection of oversized particles or fine particles
Visual assessment of the dispersing state of a sample (dispersing quality,
presence of agglomerates)
Calculation of meaningful size parameters, e. g. geodetic length or Feret
diameter for fibres, depending on the application
Selection of the appropriate distribution type (volume, number) depending on
the particular task

In addition, the individual photography of the particles gives the opportunity
to make statistical calculations on the particle shape, which in practice
enables further differentiation of materials. For example, form anisotropy, the
deviation of the particles from the ideal sphere, often plays a decisive role
for their application and further processing – for example, the conveyance or
compaction of powders, the influence on the rheology in dispersions or, in
addition to the particle size distribution, the roughness of the particle
surface plays an important role for the success of shaping or polishing.

The necessity for tailor-made particle size and dynamic imaging particle
analysis, combined with ever-increasing PC processing power, ensures that
automated imaging methods are becoming increasingly more relevant to a market
which is 95% non-spherical.
