Understanding how a Texture Analyser works – The measurement of distance

What is distance/displacement measurement?

Distance or displacement measurement in texture analysis refers to the tracking of the probe's movement as it interacts with the sample. This movement is measured precisely to understand how much the sample deforms under applied force. Measurements assist in the development of new materials and products with desired texture/physical properties by understanding deformation behaviour. The accuracy of these measurements is vital for producing reliable and reproducible results.
