00:00.000 --> 00:03.200
Here we see the XPT-C particle analyser

00:03.200 --> 00:05.660
in its version for suspensions

00:06.300 --> 00:09.130
Here on the left we see the sample vial

00:09.130 --> 00:12.460
holding the suspension on the magnetic stirrer

00:12.460 --> 00:16.130
The peristaltic pump pumps the suspension

00:16.130 --> 00:20.820
through the flow-through cell and back into the vial

00:20.820 --> 00:28.920
The light source is located on one side of the flow-through cell and the camera is taking images from the other side inside the device.

00:28.920 --> 00:33.020
Here we can change the speed of the magnetic stirrer and the pump

00:33.020 --> 00:37.570
and we can change the direction of the pump to upwards or downwards

00:37.840 --> 00:40.610
This is the power switch of the device.

00:41.660 --> 00:44.200
Here in the software we see

00:44.200 --> 00:48.280
the live image of the currently visible particles on the upper left

00:48.290 --> 00:54.900
Below that, shown in blue, are the particles detected by the software used for size and shape analysis

00:54.940 --> 00:57.620
On the upper right we have the detection settings

00:57.620 --> 01:03.520
like brightness threshold or filtering of particles touching the edge of the image

01:03.520 --> 01:09.860
and below that is the plot of the currently measured particle size or shape distribution.
