Isospheres®
PRODUCT INFORMATION
ISOSPHERES® are designed to provide operators in the experimental fluid dynamics industry with high quality seeding materials that have excellent light scattering properties and with true densities engineered around that of water for maximum performance.
Hardware advances associated with the field of flow visualisation have not been matched by the development of a seeding material specifically designed for use in this application. We have addressed this limiting factor and developed ISOSPHERES as a dedicated product for this specialist market.
Working with industry experts, we have used our extensive expertise in coating hollow glass microspheres to engineer ISOSPHERES as a high quality PIV seeding material.
ISOSPHERES-T
- Titanium dioxide coated hollow glass microspheres.
- Titanium dioxide coating imparts excellent light scattering properties above and beyond that of silver coated microspheres.
- Controlled buoyancy ensures particles stay in suspension far longer than conventionally used seeding materials.
- Isospheres are chemically stable
- Size range: 5-30 micron.
- Competitively priced, high quality, alternative to silver coated microspheres.

ISOSPHERES-T outperform silver microspheresPresented above is a direct comparison between standard silver-coated microspheres and ISOSPHERES-T. The images were taken at the same particle concentration and same pulse energy from a pulsed Nd:YAG laser (2 x 50mJ @ 532nm), with a 1600x1200 PIV camera with the lens stopped at f=5.6. There is a noticeable improvement in particle image visibility and detectability on the ISOSPHERES image, as confirmed by the corresponding grey-level histograms. |
