EasyViewer with iC Vision
View and Measure Particles In-Situ and in Real Time
EasyViewer™ is an inline particle size analysis tool based on high-resolution microscope images and verifiable image analysis.
Together with image analysis-based particle size measurements, EasyViewer provides a rapid and early understanding of how particles and droplets change. This can be leveraged to improve yield, purity, filtration, and quality in smaller volumes and faster than ever before. Without sampling or diluting, researchers can visualize crystals, particles, and droplets in an outstanding level of detail.

EasyViewer 400
Longer Probe for Larger Reactors
Leverage auto-focus, auto-lighting, and auto-save-best-image software features to ensure every project team member can collect the highest quality images with just three clicks. Complete data capture and unattended operation to study particles as they naturally exist in process. Läs mer
Convert Images to High-Quality Data
The Image2Chords™ module simplifies particle process development by providing an easy-to-use platform for simultaneous imaging and chord length distributions (CLD’s). Image2Chords converts images to high-quality CLD's, trends, and statistics that are used to confidently characterize particle mechanisms – nucleation, growth, dissolution, breakage, and morphology.
This enables scientists to gain real-time process insights from every experiment with a single in-situ probe and make decisions faster and easier than ever before.
Fully Automated for Unattended Operation
EasyViewer and the powerful iC Vision software utilize innovative auto-focus, auto-lighting, and auto-save best image algorithms. Researchers never miss capturing crisp, high-resolution images of important events — even when working remotely.
Advanced image analysis simplifies data analysis by automatically detecting undesired events, such as droplet formation, that could lead to downstream impurities.
Designed with Ease-Of-Use (And Every Scientist) In Mind
The slim EasyViewer probe has no field unit and requires no utilities, making installation into any size vessel down to 10 mL easier than ever.
With a simple plug-and-play USB connection and streamlined iC Vision software, anyone can pick up an instrument and within minutes, capture stunning images of particles as they naturally exist in-process without sampling or dilution — even in thick slurries.
