Imaging Systems
Our imaging products enable visualisation and analyses of processes that standard techniques struggle to achieve. Ultra-fast, high-powered illumination and particle analyses opens the door to high-speed imaging applications.
When Image Quality Counts
Have you been struggling to understand your process? Do you wish that you could visualise it to understand it and then optimise it? Our high-speed imaging illumination and particle sizing systems provide great advantages. High-powered, short-pulse light sources enable Oxford Lasers’ Imaging systems to provide you with highly detailed visualisation of your processes.
From droplet, particle and bubble size measurements for spray characterisation with our VisiSize series (particle size, shape and velocity) to short-pulsed laser illumination for high-speed imaging applications from our FireFLY and FireBIRD series – Oxford Lasers has a range of products to meet your project requirements.
VisiSize - Particle Sizing & Characterisation Systems
Our systems’ innovation extends to our integral VisiSize software providing instantaneous visualisation of droplet, particle and bubble measurements.
Portable Spray Characterisation
VisiSize P15+
The most compact of the VisiSize range, the portable VisiSize P15+ is a complete integrated droplet and particle size measurement tool for in-field or in-lab use. It provides real-time analysis of size, shape and velocity of particles down to 10μm.
- Compact: Fully portable system
- Protected: Waterproof enclosure
- Versatile: Easy to use inside or outside
- Safe: LED non-laser light source
- Integral Software: VisiSize software to produce real-time visualisation of your particle and droplet characterisation
Ultra-Fast Spray Analysis System
VisiSize N60
High-performance system, the VisiSize N60 is a dedicated particle and droplet measurement tool for evaluation of more challenging sprays at high density and ultrafast speeds up to Mach 3. One of our biggest sizing systems, the VisiSize N60 provides real-time size, shape, velocity and direction analysis of particles down to 2μm.- Robust: Complete system for high-velocity, high density or high volume sprays
- Functional: Copes with volatile sprays in extreme environments
- Safe: Class 1 laser-safe system
- Integral Software: VisiSize software to produce real-time visualisation of your particle and droplet characterisation
Extended Working Distance
VisiSize N60maX
With longer distance capabilities than the VisiSize N60, the N60maX is a high-performance, ultra-fast particle and droplet measurement system with all the capabilities of N60 to analyse particles down to 2μm but with a longer working distance – ideal for analysis of materials that require a safer handling distance.
- Robust: Complete system for fast moving sprays
- Functional: Copes with volatile sprays in extreme environments
- Safe: Class 1 laser-safe system
- Integral Software: VisiSize software to produce real-time visualisation of your particle and droplet characterisation
Laser Illumination Systems for High-Speed Imaging
Our high-performance laser-based illumination technology enables you to see what was previously hidden. With maximum power at a single wavelength (808nm), the short-pulsed illumination from our lasers give you the ability to capture high-quality images of fast-moving particles without blur. The intensity of our lasers even allow you to see through bright and energetic events for capturing images of processes too bright for conventional imaging techniques.
Compact 500W series
FireFLY Series
The FireFLY is our compact 500W laser series that has been designed as a good all-around laser illumination source for high-speed imaging applications. With two models, there are many options for accessories and capability for light-sheet applications. The FireFLY is an easy-to-use all rounder.
- Compact: Small and lightweight unit
- Robust: Machined aluminium case
- Splash-proof: Water resistant housing
