Particle Size & Shape

Canty SolidSizer

The Canty SolidSizer is a dynamic imaging particle analyzer that delivers high-resolution optical characterization of powder particles, enabling detailed analysis of particle size distribution and morphology. It supports powder qualification, process optimization, and research into powder-process-property relationships.

  • Technique Dynamic imaging particle analysis
  • Optics & Lighting Camera with micro/macroscopic optics and high-intensity LED
  • Measurements 30+ size and shape parameters per particle
  • Software CANTYVISION (ISO 4406 / ASTM D8072 reporting formats)
  • Sample Type Dry powders, analyzed without sample preparation

Unique Capabilities

  • Direct imaging measurementMeasures actual particle dimensions from images instead of back-calculating an equivalent spherical diameter, giving more accurate results for non-spherical powders than laser diffraction.
  • 30+ size and shape parametersEach particle is characterized by metrics such as major/minor axis, circularity, sphericity, convexity, elongation, and max Feret diameter.
  • Particle classification and agglomerate detectionAI-based multi-level classification separates different particle types within one sample and can flag or exclude agglomerates from the data.
  • Visual verificationEvery measurement is backed by captured particle images, so size and shape results can be checked visually.
