PIV SYSTEM MICROPIV

PIV SYSTEM MICROPIV

The need to get detailed and accurate measurements in microchannels and similar devices is becoming more and more important as technology progresses. TSI has developed a unique system specifically engineered for measuring flows in MEMS devices, microchannels, vessels and flow devices with very small dimensions of tens to hundreds of microns. In developing this system, TSI has collaborated closely with pioneers in microflow measurements, optical system development, epifluorescence illumination, processing algorithm development and analysis techniques. TSI licensed this technology and implemented the patented concepts into the design of its MicroPIV System, making it the most advanced, most accurate tool available for microflow measurements.

Features and Benefits

  • Use of patented analysis techniques and tools lead to unmatched microflow measurement capabilities
  • Robust optical arrangement eliminates influences of vibration and other external disturbances
  • Inverted microscope approach is uniquely designed for microflow applications
  • Unique optical arrangement, using epifluorescence, uses the same optical access for illumination and scattered light collection
  • INSIGHT™ 3G Data Acquisition, Analysis and Display Software offers complete system control as well as data collection and analysis

Applications

  • Accurate measurements in microchannels
  • Microfluidics
  • MEMS applications
