Unique modules for particle shape characterization

Let XSACT Pro guide you effortlessly from raw data to insightful results with minimal user input. Harness the power of AI to identify the most probable particle shapes in your sample, saving time and ensuring accuracy. Dive deeper into the analysis using the model-fitting option, which extracts essential structural parameters to provide a comprehensive view of your sample.

Model fitting

Extract meaningful structural parameters of the sample being studied by comparing the observed data with simulated scattering patterns from both shapedependent (e.g., spheres, cylinders, ellipsoids) and shape-independent models. The modeling can also account for interparticle interactions, polydisperse systems, and mixtures.

AI-powered classification

Employ machine learning algorithms* to classify and identify particle shapes based solely on their scattering profiles, without requiring prior knowledge.
