Dispersion measurement.


In an effort to combine the quantitative results obtained from light microscopy with the speed of the surface roughness techniques, the method of interferometric microscopy Interferometric microscopy or Imaging interferometric microscopy is the concept of microscopy which which is related to holography, synthetic-aperture imaging, and off-axis-dark-field illumination techniques.  (IFM IFM Institut Français de la Mode (French Fashion Institute)

The Xi-100 IFM uses white light interference to generate a three-dimensional map of a razor cut Razor Cutting is a hair cutting process in which sharp, knife like razors are used to excise, slice and texturize hair. Razor-cutting has a great history. Razors were used in the early days to create the bob style, a trend made famous by Louise Brooks.  rubber surface. Based on the surface topography, different analysis techniques can be utilized to characterize the surface roughness, and carbon black dispersion. This technique can be applied to other filler compounds besides carbon black. IFM results are said to correlate extremely well with those obtained via light microscopy. The ability of the Xi-100 to provide true three-dimensional topographic information is said to be invaluable for carbon black dispersion characterization. (Ambios Technology)
