Morphologi G3

Advanced particle characterization made easy

The Morphologi G3 provides an advanced yet easy to use particle characterization tool for the measurement of particle size and particle shape from 0.5 microns to several millimeters. In one instrument it offers the flexibility required for R&D and troubleshooting applications, and user-independent results and the validation required for automated QC analysis. The technique is often used in conjunction with laser diffraction particle sizing, to gain a deeper understanding of product or process behavior.

How it works

The Morphologi G3 measures the size and shape of particles by the technique of static image analysis. There are three essential stages in the measurement process;

Sample preparation and dispersion
This step is critical to getting good results; spatial separation of individual particles and agglomerates is the goal. The Morphologi G3 has an integrated dry powder disperser which makes preparing dry powder samples easy and reproducible. A range of accessories is also available for preparing samples in wet suspensions or on membrane filters.

Image capture
The instrument captures images of individual particles by scanning the sample underneath the microscope optics, while keeping the particles in focus. The Morphologi G3 can illuminate the sample from below or above, while accurately controlling the light levels. Polarizing optics can be used to study birefringent materials.

Data analysis
The instrument measures a range of morphological properties for each particle. Advanced graphing and data classification options in the software ensure that extracting the relevant data from your measurement is as straightforward as possible, via an intuitive visual interface. Individually stored grayscale images for each particle provide qualitative verification of the quantitative results.
