Features (subject to change without notice)
- In-situ digital holography
- Self-contained with internal datalogger
- Ethernet connection to PC for programmable data collection
- Power via external battery pack or external power source
- Two options for hologram offloading:
- Ethernet connection directly to PC (~4 seconds / hologram)

| Specifications (subject to change without notice)
| Parameters Measured
- 2MB Hologram containing the interference pattern of all particles in the laser beam
(what is a hologram?)
- Depth
- Temperature
Parameters derived upon hologram processing
- Particle Size Distribution (PSD)
- Standard Deviation of PSD
