Vertical meniscus profiling is now included in the KSV Cam software.
KSV Instruments announces the introduction of optical profiling of the perpendicular meniscus at a rod/fibre or plate with Cam 101 and Cam 200 instruments.
This technique will open new doors for determining contact angle and surface/interfacial tension on geometries that are otherwise difficult to study.
The method also allows classical tensiometer type measurements such as Wilhelmy plate/rod to be performed, but doesn't require the purchase of a new instrument.
Of particular interest is that dynamic advancing and receding contact angles can now be accurately measured, even on asymmetric planar surfaces.
