Use this feature to see a concise listing of statistics for any or all measures from a single sample, in XLS format. First, the applicable size range may be narrowed if necessary. Then select the measures and statistics to include. Then click Create File to create the XLS file.

The Multirun Summary is a way to show the major results from a series of runs in a concise format. Once the series of runs is selected, choose which measures to report on: Then select the statistics to report: Finally, click Create Worksheet to create the XLS file:

The “percent <= and >” window reports what fraction of the sample is less than and greater than four sizes, which you enter into the window on the left side. With the distribution shown, 8.19 % of the sample’s particles, by particle count (“number”) are below 10.0 microns in size, and 91.7 % are between [...]

The Comprehensive Statistics window characterizes the sample in greater detail, using commonly-accepted statistics for histogram data. The Arithmetic values come from the original data and correspond visually to what the histogram would look like on a linear size axis. Geometric stats reflect the appearance of the distribution on the log axis. Mean is the average [...]

Sometimes you need to know how particles are distributed along the size axis with respect to surface area or volume. For example you might need to know how much of the sample volume is between two specific particle diameters. The Particle Insight computes surface area and volume for each particle. The calculation is done separately [...]

Applications: Chemical, polymer, pharmaceutical, and natural powders; toners, gypsum, food condiments; any sample whose particles do not conform easily with any of the other shape models, or for which data on surface roughness is needed. Available measures: Feret Width Feret Width is the smallest possible spacing between parallel lines that contact but do not intersect [...]

Applications: Thin fibers such as cellulose and other natural fibers, which are used as thickening agents, and in such materials as adhesives, textiles, sealers, coatings and insulation. Available measures: Fiber Width Fiber Length The Fiber model reshapes bent fibers into a straightened rectangle. Fiber Width and Fiber Length are the width and length of that [...]
