Retsch Technology, Haan, Germany, has introduced the CAMSIZER X2, the next generation of its CAMSIZER XT dynamic image analysis system. The new analyzer provides an extended dynamic measuring range from 0.8µm to 8mm with short measurement times and good reproducibility. This latest series is based on the patented twin-camera system which consists of two cameras with different resolutions, operating simultaneously and permitting measurements in a wide dynamic size range. This same principle has been employed in the CAMSIZER X2, but with a new optical concept: two light sources with different wave lengths and an innovative light path allow for images with increased depth of focus and for an image resolution improved by a factor of two. Thanks to the latest camera technology with a three times higher pixel resolution and higher frame rate than the previous model, the number of detected particles increases dramatically.

 

A new software module of the CAMSIZER X2 – the  Particle X-Plorer – allows for optional storage of particle images with corresponding size and shape parameters in a database. Particle size and particle shape applications include metal powders, pharmaceutical products, chemicals, food and construction materials. www.retsch-technology.com
