ParticleMaster

Product catalog summary

Overview
ParticleMaster is an advanced imaging technology designed for particle and droplet sizing using two main systems: ParticleMaster Shadow and ParticleMaster IMI. These systems utilize different imaging techniques to provide detailed information on particle characteristics.

ParticleMaster Shadow
This system uses backlight illumination and high-magnification imaging to capture the shadow of particles. Key information obtained includes:

Particle size, position, and shape
Velocity and density
Mass flux and statistical data (D10, D32, Dv50)

Applications include analyzing liquid sprays, spray breakup, powders, and bubbles. The system comprises software, a CCD camera, a microscope or macro lens, and illumination optics. Upgrades are available for PIV or planar LIF systems.

ParticleMaster IMI
Based on Interferometric Mie Imaging, this system records spatial Mie scattering intensity distribution. It provides:

Particle size and position in three dimensions
Velocity and density
Mass flux and statistical data (D10, D32, Dv50)

Applications cover transparent sprays, droplet clouds, and bubbles. Special features include auto-detection, fringe pattern analysis, and advanced evaluation algorithms. The system includes software, a CCD camera, a macro lens, and laser sheet optics.

Comparison and Application Matrix
The document provides a comparison matrix highlighting the dynamic range, field of view, and working distance for both systems. It also outlines the suitability of each system for different particle types, such as powders, bubbles, and droplets.
