Micro Dosing Unit ASPIROS/L for Image Analysis Applications If only small quantities of valuable products or toxic material are to be analysed, the micro-dosing device ASPIROS/L is the ideal dosing unit for the dry disperser RODOS/L. The sealed sample tubes can handle micro to milligrams. The unit's bar code reader identifies the sample and automatically applies the correct dispersion settings. More ... Archived on 20 May 2006	High Speed Image Analysis of up to 10⁷ particles per measurement QICPIC in combination RODOS/L was used for statistical tests on coffee powder. Up to 10⁷ particles have been acquired and stored in real-time, showing that more than 2,000,000 particles are necessary for a maximum standard deviation of Q₃ < 1%. More ...

WINDOX 5.2.2 consolidates the Progress into the Image Analysis of Fibres. Fibre with length of fibre LEFI and Curl index displayed The curl index of fibres can now be evaluated. 6 user-specific results can be calculated and stored. The diagram representation has strongly been improved. More ... Archived on 20 May 2006	Image Analysis of Fibres WINDOX 5.2.1 expands the evaluation mode of QICPIC to fibres. Particle gallery of fibres, click for signal test window Now the length (LEFI = length of fibres) and the diameter (DIFI = diameter of fibres) are evaluated on request and can be displayed in graphics and reports. Fibres with complex topology are supported. Archived on 20 May 2006	Latest news from the cement industry After several relevant installations in the Chinese cement industry Sympatec signed a cooperation agreement with SINOMA International Nanjing Cement Industry Design & Research Institute. In December 2005 SINOMA decided to promote Sympatec laser diffraction equipment in the Chinese market and incorporate Sympatec’s technology in coming domestic and overseas plant projects. It includes the complete range from at-line laboratory applications to automation. SINOMA applies the Sympatec HELOS & RODOS laser diffraction particle size analyser in their own development laboratory in Nanjing as well. Archived on 20 May 2006
Dual-core Workstations are supported by WINDOX 5.2.1 WINDOX 5.2.1 supports Intel's latest dual-core processor series Pentium D820/D840, which is now available from Sympatec with the Celsius W340 family of Fujitsu-Siemens and the xw4300 series of Hewlett-Packard. These powerful workstations are especially recommended for calculation intensive image analysis applications. Reduction factors of typically up to 1.7 (1.9 with WINDOX 5.2.2) have been observed with respect to the standard PC. More ... Archived on 20 May 2006	WINDOX 5.2.0 supports Photon Cross-correlation Sensor NANOPHOX This release of the validated version of WINDOX 5 supports Sympatec's complete family of particle sizing systems (i.e. HELOS, MYTOS, QICPIC, NANOPHOX, OPUS, NIMBUS) in English, German, French and Japanese language. More ... Archived on 6 April 2006	ATEX certification for MYTOS & TWISTER In-line laser diffraction with representative sampling and built-in dry dispersion is now available for hazardous areas compliant with the ATEX specifications.
