Particle Insight Raptor – Bench-Top
Raptor Bench-Top Particle Size & Shape Analyzer (Coming Soon)
The Raptor Bench-Top system is the next-generation dynamic image analysis platform from Vision Analytical, designed for laboratories and production environments that require high-confidence particle size and shape characterization — not size alone.
Dynamic Image Analysis (DIA) provides high-resolution particle images along with size, shape, and concentration data, supporting better insight into particle morphology and improved decision-making for quality control and research.
What to Expect
The Raptor Bench-Top is being prepared for launch, and additional details including specifications, configuration options, and application examples will be published soon.

If you’d like to evaluate the Raptor Bench-Top for your application, we can share available information now and discuss how DIA may support your workflow.
Irregular Model
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 [...]
Fiber Model
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 [...]
Polygon Model
Applications: Crystals, flakes, abrasives, silica, paint pigments, graphite and other lubricants; in general particles having more or less straight sides or facets and well-defined corners. Available measures: Polygon Order Polygon Order is the number of sides of the fitted polygon. Interior Angles Interior Angles are the interior angles of the fitted polygon. Since this is [...]
Rectangle Model
Applications: Straight fibers; thick short fibers; crystals; carbon fibers; in general any shape that isn’t circular where a length and width are needed. Available measures: Bounding Rectangle Width Bounding Rectangle Length BR Width and BR Length are the dimensions of the smallest rectangle (in area) that encloses the particle’s silhouette. Bounding Rectangle Aspect Ratio BRAR [...]
Ellipse Model
Applications: Certain metal powders and polymer powders; some crystals and abrasives; pollen. Available measures: Equivalent Elliptical Area Width EEAW is the width of an ellipse equal in area to the original shape, and having an aspect ratio the same as that of the bounding rectangle. Equivalent Elliptical Area Length EEAL is the length of an [...]
Circle Model
Applications: Powders having low aspect ratios, glass or plastic spheres, metal spheres, toners. Available measures: Equivalent Circular Area diameter ECAD is the diameter of a circle having the same area as the original shape. Equivalent Circular Perimeter diameter ECPD is the diameter of a circle having the same perimeter as the original shape. Bounding Circle [...]
