What Does It Measure? Easy and quick method to analyse dandruff in number and size. The Principle The system consists of a device in which a petri dish with the collected dandruff is inserted. A circularly arranged LED light source illuminates the sample homogeneously on a dark background. The high resolution camera above the sample takes a picture and the software detects all dandruff and categorizes it in up to 9 different size classes. Fields of Application Hair care is a wide field in the cosmetic industry. Analysing dandruff is one of the most important concerns in research of hair care products and their efficacy testing. Advantages • Quick and easy handling of the device. • Modern software that is easy to navigate and facilitates your daily work • Dandruff is evaluated by number & size (in pixel and mm²) for up to 9 different size categories which can be determined by the user.
