High-speed Polarization Camera
Polarized Rheo Imaging System Rheo-Iris
Rheo-Iris enables simultaneous measurement of physical properties and structural changes in soft matter.
The polarized rheo-imaging system Rheo-Iris uniquely combines Anton Paar’s rheometer (MCR series) with the polarized high-speed camera CRYSTA. This integration allows researchers to obtain rheological property data and visualize structural changes in real time. Such simultaneous analysis greatly accelerates the development of new materials and the optimization of materials for specific applications.
