The MICROTRAC S3 500 is a particle size analyser that uses three precisely placed red laser diodes, multi-detector, and multi-angle optical system to accurately characterize the particles size and size distribution. In Microtrac’s technology, the scattered light is measured at various angles up to 163 degrees. Small particles scatter light at large angles while large particles scatter light at small angles relative to the laser beam.
