Occhio 500nanoXY particle analyser

The Occhio 500nanoXY is an automatic imaging particle analyser dedicated to powder quality characterisation. It can analyse powders, suspensions and emulsions in a particle size range 0.4 to 3000 µm.

The system combines an integrated vacuum dispersion device and a high-resolution optical bench (camera 10 MP and specific LED light) - the blue light enables the detection of the smallest particles.

The disperser provides a prepared slide glass free of contamination or damage. The vacuum disperser will gently deposit millions of individual grains of powder onto a glass slide within a few seconds. With the X-Y plate, the device allows the automatic analysis of all particles for particle size measurement and shape characterisation.

The product offers the possibility of making a real analysis in wet mode. With O-flowcell, it is possible to make particle size measurements, particle shape analysis and particle counting (number of particles/mL). The product uses Callisto Software, which allows it to make these measurements with more than 43 parameters available.

Microscopy Mode enables a display of each parameter and picture for the selected particle on scatterplot or live pictures. A specific pump controls flow rate in order to have good accuracy on particle counting.

The product also has the option to include a surface analysis, which enables analysis of surfaces such as polymers, membranes, filters and fibres with a dedicated module.
