IDS case study: Micrometer precise material analysis

Whether for quality assurance or for predicting material behavior, precisely characterizing particles is crucial. However, particles can vary widely in form and origin - be it powders, liquids, tablets, sand, microplastics, or pigments. To analyze this diversity, laboratories must strike a balance between precision, efficiency and practical requirements. Accuracy and reproducibility are paramount, as even the slightest deviations in particle size distribution - often in the micrometer or nanometer range - can significantly impact material properties. At the same time, the high throughput in production environments requires the quick analysis of numerous samples without compromising on measurement quality.

The Austrian company Anton Paar GmbH specializes in particle characterization. Its devices are designed to capture high-speed images of particles in motion. One of the most important components in their successful dynamic image analysis is a uEye Warp10.
