Working principle XPT-C: particle supsension is pumped through the flow-through cell on the outside of the unit - either directly from a process or from a sample. A CCD camera continuously takes images at a rate of 30 frames per second, which are analysed in real time and results displayed and saved.

Complete system: consists of stainless steel housing with camera and lighting system by high-power LED, flow-through cell, peristaltic pump, magnetic stirrer, controll system, PC and software.

Measurement range: from 1 micron upwards, maximum resolution 0.5 micron/Pixel
