Solids and Liquids in Liquid Measurement Wet Measurement refers to a system which analyzes particles, liquid and/or solid, mixed or suspended into a carrier fluid. Measurement of slurry (particles suspended in carrier fluid) particle size, shape and concentration up to 1% Vol. by Vol. For Slurries with larger solids concentrations (1% to 60% Vol. by Vol.) the Canty suspension system would be utilised. Solid Particle Concentration >1% Solid Particle Concentration <1% JM Canty, Inc. Buffalo, New York Phone: (716) 625-4227 | JM Canty, Ltd. Dublin, Ireland Phone: +353 (1) 882-9621
Solids and Liquids in Liquid Measurement Particle size, shape and concentration of Droplets, Gas Bubbles & Solids up to a maximum of 5% Vol. by Vol. Droplet /Bubble Size Only (1% to 60% Vol./Vol.). Droplets, Gas Bubbles and Solids. Concentration <5% 50% Droplet Concentration 4% Droplet Concentration JM Canty, Inc. Buffalo, New York Phone: (716) 625-4227 | JM Canty, Ltd.

Vision Based Particle Analysis Basic Principle Canty s dynamic imaging technique works on the basic principle of presenting the product between a high intensity Light source and a high speed, high resolution microscopic camera The captured 2D images are then sent to the imaging software for analysis, where the suspended particles are measured directly under a number of different parameters providing the true Size, Shape and Concentration JM Canty, Inc.

Image Retrieval Hardware Lighting System High Intensity LED Strobed Light Source Providing bright even illumination backlighting in order to deliver optimum contrast for particle detection 5+ Years Continuous Operation Ability to measure flow velocities up to 5m/s JM Canty, Inc.

Lighting Techniques Bright Field Lighting Bright field back lighting (bright even illumination) typically works best for the majority of particles. Delivers optimum particle contrast. JM Canty, Inc. Buffalo, New York Phone: (716) 625-4227 | JM Canty, Ltd. Dublin, Ireland Phone: +353 (1) 882-9621
Lighting Techniques Cross Polarized Lighting Unpolarized Light - Light waves that vibrate/transmitted in more than one direction. Polarized Light- the polarizers blocks the lights rays that are transmitted in all directions and only allow rays that are transmitted in one direction For example in order to improve contrast of some particles (translucent/transparent particle), the polarized light will interact strongly with the particle to generate contrast. Unpolarized light will have multiple rays coming from all directions illuminating the particle thus reducing the contrast. Bright Particles Carnallite Dark Particle Sodium Chloride Differentiate between two particle species identical in size and within the one sample JM Canty, Inc. Buffalo, New York Phone: (716) 625-4227 | JM Canty, Ltd. Dublin, Ireland Phone: +353 (1) 882-9621
Lighting Techniques Dark Field Lighting . Typically used to improve contrast on semi transparent crystal structures. It provides illumination that is projected at a shallow angle to the imaging plane of the particles. The majority of the light will be directed away from the camera sensor, however, uneven surfaces on the particle s crystal structure will refract the light into the camera sensor thus delivering the desired contrast between the particles and the background. Transparent wax crystals illuminated on a black background delivering the desired contrast. JM Canty, Inc. Buffalo, New York Phone: (716) 625-4227 | JM Canty, Ltd. Dublin, Ireland Phone: +353 (1) 882-9621
Lighting Techniques Phase Contrast . Delivers high contrast images of transparent specimens such as cells and proteins , allowing for the ability to identify minute changes in image contrast in the body of the specimen. This is of significant importance to be able to differentiae between viable and non viable cells without the needs for using a stain to improve image contrast. Viable Cells Non- Viable Cells Cells under Bright field lighting conditions Cells under phase contrast lighting conditions JM Canty, Inc. Buffalo, New York Phone: (716) 625-4227 | JM Canty, Ltd.
