Working principle XPT-C: particle supsension is pumped through the flow-through cell on the outside of the unit - either directly from a process or from a sample. A CCD camera continuously takes images which are analysed in real time, results displayed and saved.

Complete system: consists of stainless steel housing with camera and lighting system by xenon flash or high-power LED, flow-through cell, peristaltic pump, magnetic stirrer, controll system, PC and software.

Measurement range: from 1 micron upwards, maximum resolution 0.3 micron/Pixel

Technical data:
Minimum sample size: 1ml
Housing dimensions 380 x 300 x 120mm
Material: stainless steel
Power supply 115/230V, optional 12V rechargeable battery
