An application note from Malvern Instruments outlines research and methodology for measuring the size, shape and intensity of particles in mineral-based powder makeup.
This is performed using the Morphologi G3 image-analysis-based particle-characterisation system.
The freely downloadable publication, 'Morphologi G3: understanding mineral-based make-up using size, shape and intensity measurements', demonstrates how to capture and analyse data for use in optimising the brilliance and coverage of powder makeup.
The Morphologi G3 combines high-quality, automated imaging with statistically significant particle-shape and particle-size measurements, delivering more reliable characterisation than is typically obtained with manual microscopy - according to the company.
Images of every particle analysed are retained by the system and can be used to visually inspect the products, providing a qualitative analysis of the sample.
