Light scattering
showing the energy plotted against detector number. This is available as a
live display before the measurement is initiated. Following the measure-
ment this panel contains the data recorded at the measurement time.
Size distribution
against Particle Size (μm) - This is blank until the measurement has been
initiated. After a measurement has run, and been selected in the trend
view, the data shown is that gathered at measurement time.
The light scattering and size distribution views can either be shown
separately or tiled next to each other by selecting the split view
The split view button is only available with the Mastersizer 3000 /
Mastersizer 3000E with Extended software option.
Click the Start button
SOP settings, the system prompts the user to enter/confirm sample documen-
tation details. Following this stage. the system automatically moves to the
Measure Background stage and measures both the red and blue light values
of the background.
Note
To stop both the SOP and the accessory during a measurement, click the
Abort button
. This "all stop" command should only be used when a
problem is suspected - this is because the sample will stop circulating,
which could affect further measurements if the sample is not then refilled.
Making measurements
- the light scattering panel provides a live graph
- the size distribution graph plots Volume (%)
