QUICK QUOTE Occhio particle  size and shape analyzers , are the collaboration of many years of  focused research in the fields of optics, lighting, and digital imaging.

Common methods of particle size analysis include laser diffraction, and sieve analysis,  both of which are based on the assumption that a sample is comprised of spherical particles. 

While these methods of gathering size distribution information, provide usable results,  they lack in application, when compared with digital imaging technology.

Inner Diameter

The Inner Diameter is the diameter of the maximum inscribed circle (the maximum circle lying completely inside the particle).

Correlates with sieve analysis measurements The Area Diameter (also known as the Equivalent Disc Diameter, (ED)) is the diameter of a circle having the same area as the particle.

Correlates with laser diffraction measurements Bluntness

The sample is fed on to the hopper, either through an adjustable height funnel, or with the addition of an auxiliary dispersion sieve. The hopper vibrates, and the sample travels to the vacuum entry point. Two parallel glass slides provide a laminar flow chamber, so the particles pass by the lens in an oriented fashion.

USING DISPERSION SIEVE FOR COHESIVE SAMPLES MOTORIZED FUNNEL HEIGHT The Bluntness Index is the expression of a “maturity in the abrasion process”. It specifies how far we are from a perfectly  rounded shape.

It is most often used to establish abrasive properties in materials. Circularity is defined as the ratio between the equivalent disc perimeter and the particle perimeter.

The degree to which the projection area of the particle is similar to a circle, considering the smoothness of the perimeter.

It is often used for product flow studies While laser diffraction measures scattered light, digital imaging works by eliminating diffraction, in order to capture high definition images. Using a special monochromatic blue backlight (Occhio pioneered research showing that certain wave lengths, enhanced particle definition), minimum particle detection moved from 1 micron (White Light) to 200 nanometers. The light is also collimated,  and acts like a caliper  For a complete list of available size and shape parameters, and an introduction to digital imaging theory, use the below downloads: AVAILABLE MEASUREMENT PARAMETERS
