MessPhysick Laser Speckle Extesometer

Messphysick Laser Speckle Extensometer

Non-contact extension measuring system

Laser beam dispersion causes granular looking speckle pattern, that changes during loading

Video processor compares with initial pattern and calculates moved distance

Strain calculated in real-time
