Application guidance
How can particles be monitored directly in the process?
A photo-optical inline probe installed in a vessel, pipeline, or other process equipment captures images directly in the process medium and tracks size, shape, and concentration over time. The appropriate configuration depends on the sample matrix, particle-size range, concentration, and operating conditions.
Explore common technical questions →- Is sampling required?
- No. Inline measurement analyzes particles, droplets, or bubbles directly in the process, avoiding changes caused by sample withdrawal, dilution, and transport.
- Can it handle concentrated systems?
- Yes, as long as the probe, optics, illumination, and installation point are selected for the specific application.
- How is the right probe selected?
- Probe selection takes into account the measurement objective, type of dispersion, expected size range, concentration, pressure, temperature, viscosity, and fouling risk.
From images to data
Images reveal how the process is changing.
The probe captures images directly in the process medium. The software detects dispersed-phase objects, calculates distributions, and tracks their evolution—providing continuous insight into nucleation, growth, breakage, coalescence, and agglomeration.
Real-time visibility
Continuous trends and distributions replace isolated measurements that arrive too late.
Actionable information
Results can support process development, monitoring, control, and quality assurance.

One platform, multiple dispersed phases
The right solution begins with your application.
The portfolio covers fine dispersions through millimeter-scale particles, but nominal size range alone cannot determine the right probe. The sample matrix, concentration, morphology, optical path length, pressure, temperature, and installation point define the appropriate system.
How we select the right probeParsum · inline particle sizingExplore Parsum instruments
Powders, granules, and pellets. The right size, in real time.
Laser probes installed directly in the process measure particle size, distribution, and velocity using extended spatial filtering technology (SFT), without sampling.
