Bettersizer 2600

Laser Particle Size Analyzer (Dry & Wet Dispersions)

The Bettersizer 2600 utilizes this laser diffraction technology. There are 92 photoelectric detectors to convert light signals from the scattering spectrum to electrical signals, which are transmitted into an intelligent software. By implementing the Mie scattering theory to the data and performing mathematical conversion, the complete particle size distribution can be derived.

1）FOURIER AND REVERSE FOURIER OPTICAL SYSTEM
The Bettersizer 2600 is superior in the combination of Fourier and inverse Fourier design. This smart design allows, on the one hand, the detection of stray light in a very wide angular range from 0.016° to 165°. On the other hand, in contrast to the inverse Fourier design, the particles do not have to lie on one plane – the simultaneously accurate measurement of small and large particles is therefore achieved.

Features of combination of Fourier and inverse Fourier design

Spherical detector array: Forward, lateral and backward detectors in 92 pieces in total;
Super large Fourier lens;
Small footprint: Compact design to save space

2）INTUITIVE AND POWERFUL SOFTWARE

Intuitive operation and orderly user interface
