Capacitance imaging, based on the renowned L'Oréal SkinChip®*. The sensor gives graphical information on the near surface hydration distribution and the micro-topography of skin and other tissues (textiles, plants, etc.). The latest model comes with an ultra-flat sensor and modern sophisticated software with additional functions to facilitate your work.
Advantages of the MoistureMap
Very flat sensor surface without metal rim for comfortable placement on the skin.
Quick and easy to handle, image capture/live image by a button on the probe handle.
Sensor is spring loaded for consistent contact force.
Calibrated probe with a sophisticated calibration certificate. All calibration data are saved in the probe. No further calibration needed by the user.
Perform in vitro applications with special accessories (e.g. cell cultures, tissue, plants, etc.).
Perfect addition to the quantitative MoistureMap with Corneometer® and Tewameter®measurements of hydration and TEWL, as it shows the distribution of the water on the skin surface. The only instrument, which can work side by side with the established Corneometer® and Tewameter® in one software.
Advantages of the software:
Convenient, intuitive, modern software, easy to navigate.
Enlarged live image visible in the software including histogram.
Evenness of the hydration distribution is displayed in 5 different colours and a histogram, the ranges can be easily set by the user.
Regions of interest (ROI): Select any size for calculation rectangle or circle and move it around. The results change automatically.
