CAM 100 - Simple Contact Angle Meter

CAM 100 is a compact video based instrument for the measurement of contact angles by optical method. It is designed for routine applications in industry, education and R&D.

CAM 100 is an accurate, simple, and easy to use instrument.  It is PC controlled and runs under the Windows 95/98/NT/2000 compatible KSV CAM 100 software. The Windows environment with familiar mouse functions ensures ease of use allowing nearly anyone quickly to learn its operation.  The KSV CAM 100 software offers for an effective means to organize, manipulate and display the measured data.  A live picture on PC monitor showing the droplet on a solid surface and a separate measuring parameter sub window confirms the contact angle measurement. CAM100 is even easily run on a laptop computer.
