500 Nano

Principle

Based upon a combination of high-quality optical components and sophisticated image analysis software, the Alpaga 500 Nano is a fully integrated system for fast and accurate powder characterization.
More than a microscope, the system combines an integrated vacuum dispersion device, monochromatic collimated back-light for ideal contrast, telecentric lens for unrivalled image quality, wide depth of focus, integrated computer and electronics and advanced software for size and morphometric analysis.

Features

- Vacuum dispersion device,

- Monochromatic collimated back-light for ideal contrast,

- Telecentric lens for unrivalled image quality, size measurement accuracy and wide depth of focus,

- Integrated computer and electronics and advanced software for size and morphometric analysis.

Sampler preparation by Vacuum Disperser Device

This newly-patented dispersion device will provide perfectly prepared sample slides. The disperser is placed directly onto the glass plate and a plastic membrane separates the sample form the chamber. The membrane is automatically ruptured by the pressure differential and the sample is dispersed directly onto the plate, creating a homogeneous monolayer of particles.

Benefits

- Small quantities of sample
- No contamination
- Maintains powder integrity
- Easy to clean
- Highly reproducible
- Fully integrated

Optics

Occhio instruments are based upon telecentric optical technology with a superior lens to minimize distortion, mounted on robust, precision mechanical components.
