In September 2011 Malvern Panalytical launched the successor to its market-leading laser diffraction particle size analyzer. Two years on, the company has further extended its laser diffraction family ...

This article explains the reason why so many manufacturers need to measure particle size and the reason behind laser diffraction being the method of choice. Different industries measure particle size ...

The particle size of the fat droplets present in dairy and other food emulsions is important in defining properties such as flavor release, mouth feel and the emulsion stability. Large emulsion ...

As the latest generation of X-ray lasers comes online around the globe, dealing with the amount of diffraction data that they generate from samples is becoming a daunting task. For example, the Linac ...

Particle size defines the performance of a wide range of different products, including cement, paints, inks, metal powders, cosmetics, foods and drinks. Measuring relevant particle size data is ...

Experiments were conducted to establish a laser diffraction-based method for the determination of lactose powder particle size. This was accomplished using a Bettersizer 2600 equipped with a fully ...

We need to measure the particle size of a moisture-sensitive powder. We would like to use dry analysis on our laser-diffraction system, but the particles are fragile and we're struggling to get robust ...

A targeted way to manipulate beams of protons accelerated using ultrashort and ultraintense laser pulses has been demonstrated by a team of researchers. A targeted way to manipulate beams of protons ...

Ultrashort laser pulses—that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second—have transformed fundamental science, ...

The collective response of charged particles to intense fields is intrinsic to plasma accelerators and radiation sources, relativistic optics and many astrophysical phenomena. Here we show that a ...

Some published articles purport to demonstrate the difficulties and problems of the laser diffraction technique without mentioning that these apparent problems are inherent in all particle-sizing ...

Like a lot of people, I own multiple laser pointers. These come in handy when I do public speaking for work, but that's only once a month or so. And with the sad passing of our dog back in December ...
