LS-609 Mie Scattering Wet Laser Particle Size Analyzer

LS-609 Mie Scattering Wet Laser Particle Size Analyzer

LS-609 is a new intelligent and high-performance full-automated laser particle size analyzer based on LS-POP (9). The imported He-Ne laser emitter as light source can realize shorter preheating time and more stable laser power. The modern intelligent measurement control & analysis software and full-automated sample feeding system improve the user experience greatly, LS-609 owns more concise & effective measurement process and more stable & reliable results, it’s easier to compare among measurement reports.

Applications: Measure the particle size distribution of powder or latex.
Principle: Light is an electromagnetic wave. When light meets with particles on it way of traveling, the interaction between light and particles will result in deviations of part of the light, which is called light scattering. The bigger the scattering angle is, the particle size will be smaller, the smaller the scattering angle is, the particle size will be bigger. The particle analyzer instruments will analysis the particle distribution according to this physical character of the light wave.
