Laser diffraction
Laser diffraction is a technique used to measure the size of particles in a sample. It involves shining a laser beam through the particles, which scatter the light at different angles depending on their size. Smaller particles scatter light at wider angles, while larger ones scatter at narrower angles. By analyzing these patterns, the system calculates the distribution of particle sizes. This method is fast, precise, and widely used in industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and materials testing to ensure quality and consistency.
