Core Capabilities & Design
Dual Measurement Technologies
The Bettersizer S3 Plus uniquely combines two analytical methods
• Laser Diffraction to accurately measure particle size distributions across a broad range.
• Dynamic Image Analysis to visualize particles and extract shape descriptors in real time.
This dual approach allows users to obtain both quantitative size data and qualitative shape insight, enhancing confidence in particle characterization results.
Ultra-Wide Size Range
• The laser diffraction system supports measurement from extremely fine particles at the nanometer scale up to millimeter particles, covering most industrial needs with a single instrument.
• The dynamic imaging component complements this by capturing real particle images within the same size range, ensuring comprehensive analysis from very small to large particles.
High-Resolution Dual Camera System
An integrated dual-camera setup enables real-time particle imaging with multiple magnification levels. This configuration enhances the detection of both fine structural details and oversized particles, providing clear visual evidence alongside measurement data.
