A Closer Look: Method 5 Filters

Have you ever wondered what your method 5 filters look like at a micro-scale?

Did you know you can obtain particle size distribution (PSD) and morphology information simultaneously using a microscopy sizing method?

Microscopical measurement of particle size distributions offers benefits over gravimetric techniques, allowing particle size determination of sample collections as small as 0.25 mg.

Microscopical methods are able to directly determine the number fraction of particles of a given size. In addition, the particle size bins chosen for data analysis and reporting are entirely customizable, which is important to engineering studies for control equipment design.
