A single optical system covers a total particle range of 0.03µm to 1000µm

Since only one optical system is needed for measurement, accurate particle distribution curves are obtained without cumbersome calculations.

81-element detector senses diffracted/scattered light, ensuring high resolution

Forward diffracted/scattered light is sensed by a 76-element 'wing' sensor of unique design, while side and back scattered light is sensed by five other sensors. Since a total of 81 sensing elements are used, exceptionally high resolution is achieved.

Easy operation and maintenance is enhanced by a movable base of flow-thru cell, a pump for liquid delivery, and autodilution software (an optional feature).

Select from any of three models - the Flow-thru cell model, the Batch cell model, or the combination of both - depending on your analytical needs.

* Flow-thru Cell Model For water or alcoholic dispersion

* Batch Cell Model For organic solvents or small sample quantities

Laser diode light source

The semiconductor laser light source provides a long service life and requires no warm up time.

Easy performance check

Using Shimadzu reference materials, measuring analytical performance is a simple procedure. Hardware functions can also be easily verified and adjusted using the instrument's Diagnosis & Adjustment screen.

Stable and Reliable Optics

Optical systems are isolated from surrounding parts using an omni- directional shock absorption frame, eliminating vibrations and maximizing reliability.

Safety Interlock

For user safety, the laser beam and power supply are automatically shut off whenever the measurement unit door is opened.
