Drop Shape Analysis 2.6

Drop Shape Analysis is a specialized application for quantifying wetting and interfacial properties from images or videos of liquid drops. It identifies the droplet contour, fits physically grounded models, and delivers precise measurements of contact angles, surface/interfacial tension, and related parameters for both sessile and pendant drop experiments.

Key capabilities:

• Contact angle measurement: static, advancing/receding, and hysteresis
• Surface and interfacial tension via Young–Laplace-based fitting
• Solid surface energy estimation using multi-liquid methods
• Dynamic studies: spreading behavior, evaporation kinetics, and droplet volume tracking
• Robust baseline detection, calibration tools, and profile editing
• Batch processing for high-throughput analysis
• Real-time overlays and trend plots during acquisition (where supported)
• Flexible reporting and export to common formats (e.g., CSV, PDF, image files)
• Works with direct camera capture (when available) or offline analysis of imported media

Designed for researchers and QA/QC teams in coatings, adhesives, energy, biomedical, and materials science, Drop Shape Analysis streamlines data collection and improves repeatability, helping you move quickly from raw images to defensible, publication-ready results.
