The Bettersizer 2600 utilizes the widely recognized Laser Diffraction Technology for particle measurement, with a range of particle sizes from 0.02 to 2,600 μm. A total of 92 photoelectric detectors transform light signals into electrical signals, which are transmitted into intelligent software from the scattering spectrum. A precise and reliable particle size distribution can be obtained by applying the Mie scattering theory to the data and carrying out mathematical conversion.
Due to its modular design, the Bettersizer 2600 has many uses. The dynamic imaging module allows for combined laser and imaging tests, offering both particle shape and size analysis and expanding the measurement range to 3,500 μm. The various dispersion system modules accommodate a broad spectrum of testing requirements, including wet and dry dispersion techniques to satisfy different testing specifications.
