Microanalysis and Microscopy: Applications

Particle Sizing and Identification

Identification of unknown particles and determining the size range and distribution of particles can be critical to environmental assessment, hazard remediation, compliance with environmental regulations, product quality, cleanliness of cleanroom technology, and formulation assessment. Our scientists have years of experience in analysis of fine particles, including the latest in nanotechnology applications. Samples can be analyzed by optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and by various chemical/spectroscopic methods to identify, document, and micrograph the particles present.

In many new areas of technology, the size of particles manufactured is critical in order to optimize surface area. We have helped scientists working in the area of fuel desorption by analyzing, imaging, and sizing the particles used to remove sulfur from fuel sources.
