| Description | The RapidVUE is a particle shape and size analyzer offering a wide dynamic range. It has been designed with the utmost simplicity in mind. It is comprised of a chemically compatible sample delivery module and an optical bench. The system is completely computer controlled. The modular design allows for easy upgrade for different applications such as dry or where smaller volumes are required. Simply add sample, start the analysis and within seconds you will "see" your results. • As particles pass in front of the camera, a picture is taken and converted to size. The RapidVUE takes an image of continuous-tone (gray-scale) form and converts it to a digital form through the process of sampling and quantization. Sampling is where the intensity of the continuous-tone is measured at specific points. Quantization is where these points or samples are converted to a brightness value or greyscale value with 0 representing black and 255 white. A simple algorithm is utilized to identify and measure particles in an image. A threshold is chosen between "0" and "256". All pixels lower in value (darker) than the threshold are considered to belong to a particle. The image is scanned from top to bottom, identifying dark segments on each line, and associating them with the segments on the previous line. Features: Ease of Use - Intuitive Software • Organic Solvents Compatible • Unusual Shapes - Ability to analyze and see fibers, rods, crystals, polymers, among others. • Improved Optics (eliminates out of focus particles) • Modular - Future applications |
