Interferometic Particle Imaging (IPI)

Interferometic Particle Imaging (also known as ILIDS) measures the size and velocity of spherical, transparent particles such as spray droplets, glass beads or air bubbles in water.

The main component are a laser with light sheet optics, a dual camera system and a software package.

An IPI add-on is available for DynamicStudio, Dantec Dynamics’ imaging software platform.
