Principle

Based upon a combination of high-quality optical components and sophisticated image analysis software, the Occhio Pharma is a fully PC controlled system, include CFR21 part 11 software, 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, new fast auto-focus , integrated computer with 3 controlled position axes, and advanced software for size and morphometric analysis.

Features

- Integrated 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.

- Fully PC controlled system (fast auto-focus, Standard operating procedure) and CFR21 part 11 software

Sampler preparation by Vacuum Disperser Device

This newly-patented dispersion device will provide perfectly prepared sample slides. The disperser is placed automatically 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.

Collimated monochromatic back-lighting

Occhio systems are based upon the most advanced solid-state lighting technology available. Some advantages: energy efficient, high brightness, very long operating life and controlled wavelength light.

Camera

1/1.8" progressive scan video technology - Shutter speed from 1/16 to 1/200.000 sec - 1628 x 1236 pixels ccd sensor - digital output

Software

Complete automated procedure including powder dispersion analysis and custom reports. All the analysis steps follows the STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE 'SOP' to guarantee repeatability between operators.

OCCHIO Pharma uses the most modern techniques to visualize particles, overplot and compare different samples, display trends and print report.

Applications

Standard configuration includes: integrated Vacuum Dispersion Device (Vacuum pump located inside the instrument), Computer and output connection (USB Ethernet), LCD Display and keyboard, CXB10 Lighting, lens (typically TN500), integrated PLC, 3 axes with controlled position system, autofocus, CFR21 part 11 compliant software, integrated calibration grating
