Fluid Imaging Technologies' Flowcam front-fill illumination particle-imaging and analysis system is said to be the world's first to feature bidirectional front and back lighting,
This illuminates the surfaces of opaque particles and reveals their true colours and textures.
Replacing two-dimensional, black silhouettes with shapely, three-dimensional images, the Flowcam Front-Fill Illumination combines bright- and dark-field microscopy in a single unit to precisely determine the actual size and shape of the particle detected while automatically and accurately measuring, recognising, characterising and identifying every particle.
Surface imperfections and defects, foreign matter, agglomerations, discolourations and other attributes previously invisible are quickly revealed in seconds.
To be introduced at Pittcon 2011 on 14 March 2011 at Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, the new Flowcam Front-Fill Illumination marks the latest advance in the Flowcam imaging particle-analysis system, which automatically takes high-resolution, digital images of particles and organisms in a fluid, measures each one based on dozens of parameters in real time and automatically differentiates and classifies them for analysis.
