Microtrac is a global leader in particle characterization, offering optical particle analyzers using dynamic and static image analysis, laser diffraction, and sieve analysis.

What is dynamic image analysis?

Dynamic image analysis measures particle size and shape in real-time as particles move through the instrument.

What is static image analysis?

Static image analysis captures high-resolution images of particles at rest to analyze size, shape, and morphology.

What is laser diffraction analysis?

Laser diffraction measures particle size distribution by analyzing the pattern of light scattered by a particle sample.

What is sieve analysis?

Sieve analysis is a traditional method that separates particles based on size using a series of calibrated sieves.
