Physical Science Applications
Particle Size Analysis (Particle Sizing)
The Sorcerer Image Analysis System can rapidly classify particles based on a wide ran
ge of morphometric data including Area, Diameter, Width, Height, Axial Ratio, Longest Dimension and Intensity.
Size classification tables are easily defined and can include up to 50 classes in any progression. Feature measurements can also be used as include / exclude filters singly, or in logical and / or combinations. A binary image editing facility is also available to modify the image prior to measurement for example to remove artifacts.
The Sorcerer image analysis system can be linked to a light microscope or Macroviewer to provide the optimum image magnification for particle sizing. Particles as small as 1 um diameter can be measured with a light microscope, 10 um with the macro-viewer.
Sorcerer links directly to Microsoft Excel and data can be processed / graphed as required using Excel macro functions.
Sorcerer Particle Sizing applications include:
- Agrochemical pesticide spray droplets
- Contamination in lubricants / hydraulic fluids / powders
- Corrosion analysis
- Emulsions
- Inclusions in steel / composites
- Polymer pellets
- Print quality
- Printing inks / Paint pigments
- Radon dosimetry tracks
- Voids in ceramics
