Automated Optical Microscopy technique is able to measure morphology of particles in the range from 0.5 µm to 3000 µm. Samples can be prepared in liquid form or dry dispersion mode.
Automated Optical Microscopy is a reference technique in pharmaceutical industry for:
-
Measure size properties such as circular equivalent diameter, feret diameter, perimeter, width, length.
-
Measure shape properties such as circularity, aspect ratio, roughness, agglomeration.
-
Control and compare batches of the same product.
-
Study the granulated, agglomerated state of powdered materials.
