The DMe-211Plus is an economical yet fully-featured contact angle meter with a computer image analysis system.
The unit combines manual droplet volume regulation, and stage up/down motion for gentle deposition of droplets with "FAMAS-basic" software-controlled analysis of static and dynamic contact angle (30fps) and surface and interfacial tension using the pendant drop method. Analysis software to determine the surface free energy of solids is a standard feature.
Features
- Automatic recognition of droplet deposition
- Live image display and droplet volume monitoring
- Movie converter
- Manual dispenser with a set of 5 glass syringes and 5 SUS needles for precise adjustment of droplet volume and quick refilling and replacement of liquid samples
- Fine adjustable stage in z-axis for gentle deposition of droplets without distortion
- Adjustable level of the body and stage
- Droplet calibration standard for standard view, bearing one full circle for calibration and three droplet silhouettes of 5º, 60º, and 108º for periodic inspection of measurement accuracy
Options
