Laser diffraction particle size analyzer Mastersizer 3000 (laser granulometer) – a versatile tool for the rapid and accurate particle size analysis (measurement of particle size distribution), suspensions, emulsions or dry powder materials. A wide range of overlapping dimensions from millimeters to nanometers, exceptional performance and reliable measurement results do not depend on the operator – all in an extremely compact package.
Mastersizer 3000 to determine the particle size (granulometry) uses a laser diffraction method. The method is based on measuring the intensity of scattered light, the passage of the laser beam through the dispersed sample (suspension, emulsion, dry powder). These scattered light is analyzed and the particle size distribution is computed (reconstructed) based on the measured angular dependence of the light scattered by particles dispersed sample.
