The Bettersizer 2600 employs a well-established particle measurement technology— Laser Diffraction Technology, covering a particle size range of 0.02 - 2,600 μm. There are 92 photoelectric detectors to convert light signals from the scattering spectrum to electrical signals, which are transmitted into intelligent software. By implementing the Mie scattering theory to the data and performing mathematical conversion, the accurate and reliable particle size distribution can be derived.
The modular design of the Bettersizer 2600 endows it with versatile capabilities. The dynamic imaging module enables combined laser and imaging tests, extending the measurement range up to 3,500 μm and providing both particle size and shape analysis. The diverse dispersion system modules support a wide range of testing needs, including both dry and wet dispersion methods to meet various testing requirements.
