As the needs of the chemical industry change and products require more detailed inspection to maximize quality and quantity, the analytical instrumentation available must adapt to fill the space. Both the LA-950 and Camsizer successfully meet the needs for research and routine quality control through the provision of speed, ease of use, repeatability, reproducibility, and reliability. Laser diffraction analyzers measure from nanometer to millimeter sized wet or dry dispersed polymers. Dynamic image analysis systems are preferred when product size grows and shape factors become important.
