From solid to liquid
The analysis and stability testing of dispersions, emulsions,
solutions, gels and colloids on a microscale is becoming increasingly
important in fundamental research as well as in
the production of everyday necessities such as shampoos,
creams, paints, lubricants or fuels. The Multi Time Series
option of the LSM 5 EXCITER, in 3D or 4D mode, helps you
improve the microstructures of complex liquids and their
behavior versus time for best performance.
From natural to culinary
Automobile manufacturers have long been using natural
fibers – cotton, jute, flax, hemp and sisal – for seats, inside
linings and the like. Renewable raw materials provide costeffective,
stable and environmentally friendly alternatives
also in the paper and packaging industries. The successful
analysis of natural materials and products frequently
hinges on the combination of reflection and fluorescence
contrast – a capability the LSM 5 EXCITER brings to bear,
for example, in the inspection of powdered milk, or in testing
the porosity of pastas or sweets.
