Patent ID: 10928290

Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and method for measuring the concentration, size and zeta potential of nanoparticles in liquids in scattered light mode and fluorescence mode, comprising the following features: a) a sample (28) is irradiated from above by a laser (1) via a beamsplitter (14) and an adjustable-focus liquid lens (9), and the reflected beam of light is deflected by the same beamsplitter (14) and a further liquid lens (8) onto a detector (5), and analysed; b) to observe the fluorescent light, a fluorescence filter (19) is connected in the convergent beam path between the liquid lens (8) and the detector (5), to increase the distance between the scattered light plane (31) and the fluorescence plane (30); and c) to control the measurement process, a particle tracking program, an optical control unit (15) and a display (2) with a touch screen are used.
