1) Bettersizer S3 Plus particle size and shape analyzer overview
The Bettersizer S3 Plus is a laser diffraction particle size and shape analyzer additionally equipped with two high-speed CCD cameras (0.5X and 10X magnification) to capture images of the sample being measured. During measurement, the particles dispersed in the medium of choice are pumped through two measuring cuvettes. In the first, short-wave laser light (532 nm) passes through the sample and is scattered depending on particle size. The 96 detectors detect optical signals in an angle range of 0.02° - 165°. The CCD cameras continuously take pictures through the second cuvette, to provide image analysis of particles in the range of 2 to 3500 µm.

2) Patented DLOI (Dual Lenses Oblique Incidence) System: Laser Diffraction
Laser diffraction technology for routine particle size analysis remains the method of choice across various industrial sectors. The Bettersizer S3 Plus applies the patented DLOI system, which is designed based on the Fourier structure to guarantee the accurate measurement of ultrafine particles from 0.01 μm.
Features and Benefits:

Measures ultrafine particles accurately with the large angular range (0.02 - 165°) with 96 detectors

Robust optical system with superior resolution using the dual lenses design

Single short-wave laser system (532 nm) delivers a continuous scattering spectrum with a consistent wavelength

Zero stabilization and preheating time needed with solid-state light source

3) Dual-Camera System: Dynamic Image Analysis
Dynamic image analysis can strengthen your understanding of materials with comprehensive shape or morphological information that is independent of laser diffraction. Individual particles with specific geometric properties such as agglomerates, crushed particles, and foreign particles can be effectively tracked through the dual-camera system.
Features and Benefits:

0.5x and 10x cameras - photograph extremely wide size range of particles

High speed strobe lights - capture up to 10,000 particle images in 60 seconds, offering authentic shape results

Suitable for measuring heterogeneous samples with unknown optical properties

4) Groundbreaking Combination: Laser Diffraction with Dynamic Image Analysis
The Bettersizer S3 Plus integrates laser diffraction and dynamic image analysis into one instrument to simultaneously characterize particle size, size distribution, and particle shape over a wide dynamic range. Working in tandem, users can gain a deeper understanding of material behavior to fasten the troubleshooting process and method development process.
Features and Benefits:

DLOI System - precisely measures ultrafine particles down to 0.01 μm

Dual-camera Imaging System - efficiently detects oversized particles up to 3,500 μm

2-in-1 System - simultaneously obtains particle size and shape results

Fast time-to-result - rapidly generates results in 10 seconds

5）Applications

Intelligent Particle Performance

Patented DLOI System

Size Measurement
The Bettersizer S3 Plus achieves exceptional resolution and sensitivity for particle size measurements. The DLOI system allows the size distributions of polydisperse samples to be determined precisely, and the size changes of products to be detected sensitively.
Dual-Camera Imaging System

Shape Measurement
An example of additive manufacturing for shape analysis using the Bettersizer S3 Plus is shown below. A representative number of individual particles are recorded from two AlSi10Mg samples, and the number-weighted aspect ratio and circularity are evaluated in compliance with ISO standards. (Adapted from F. Schleife, C. Oetzel. Chem. Ing. Tech. 93.8 (2021): 1199–1203.)
Combination: Laser Diffraction and Image Analysis

Oversized Particle Detection
Laser diffraction in combination with image analysis can sensitively detect oversized particles that are statistically underrepresented within a wide-distributed sample, such as oversized grains, agglomerates, air bubbles, etc. An example of an off-specification abrasive is displayed below. The Bettersizer S3 Plus confirms the presence of oversized particles, by showing a size peak at around 120 μm and the images of overly coarse particles.
