Canty Particle | Probe

At its core, the Canty Particle Probe is a high-resolution, microscope-based insertion probe designed to visualize particles directly within a process pipe or vessel. The fundamental challenge it overcomes is the "black box" nature of industrial flow. Traditional methods, such as laser diffraction or sieve analysis, provide statistical averages but no visual confirmation. The Canty Probe, however, combines intense, focused illumination with a long-working-distance microscope objective and a high-speed camera, all housed within a rugged, stainless-steel enclosure that can withstand high temperatures and pressures. The probe inserts directly into a process stream via a standard flange or compression fitting. A sapphire window at the tip separates the sterile electronics from the harsh process environment, allowing the probe to capture sharp, magnified images of particles as they flow past.
