High-Temperature Optical Contact Angle Meter HTC1700
The HTC1700 High-Temperature Optical Contact Angle Meter is independently developed, designed, and manufactured by Betop Science. It utilizes optical imaging principles to capture high-definition images with a high-resolution, high-speed industrial camera under high-temperature conditions. The instrument then processes these images through proprietary software to accurately calculate and fit the data.
It is capable of measuring the surface contact angle and wettability between samples and substrates. The instrument features a software-controlled temperature module with 30-stage programmable temperature control, making it a comprehensive tool. Its ergonomic design provides user-friendly automation for sample injection, stage adjustment, and optical system regulation, ensuring precise and efficient testing.
