RheoOptics – Polarized Imaging
Technical highlights
- Polarized image recording while shearing the sample with a rheometer
- Telecentric optics transfers the image directly onto the CCD chip of the camera
- Movable polarizers for polarized and depolarized images of the sample
- Circular polarizer option
- Peltier temperature control: -20 °C to 200 °C
- Electrical temperature control: Room temperature to 300 °C
- Measuring systems: parallel plate and cone-plate, up to 50 mm in diameter
- Full integration in the rheometer software allows image or video recording during the measurement for later image analysis
Image recording and display
- Rheometer software controls both rheometer and CCD camera
- Automated image/video recording during measurement
- Direct assignment of images and videos to rheological data
