Feedback from our customers

"The micro-PIV solution from OPTOLUTION is excellent. It is by far the most user-friendly PIV system (camera, synchroniser, and laser) I’ve worked with— it works right out of the box, essentially plug-and-play. It is exceptionally well integrated with PIVlab (as expected), and the performance is reliable and consistent. Moreover, the use of standard adaptors and interlocking cables makes the PIV system (which also has a small footprint) more accessible to integrate to a microscope, and Dr William Thielicke is extremely efficient at finding suitable solutions."

"The hardware-software integration is very impressive, allowing the user to obtain high-quality PIV data within just a few steps. The instructional videos are also very useful. Overall, the Educational PIV system is an excellent tool for both teaching and research."

"We've been using your system quite heavily for the last 4 months or so and it works great. The hardware and software are both well designed and easy to use."

"The laser has been performing exceptionally well in our experimental setup. Its power and speed are perfectly suited for our measurements, and its size and weight make installation straightforward. The original integration with PIVlab is user-friendly, and the open accessibility of the laser has allowed us to integrate its control into a Python script along with other devices." 

"We work with students and the implementation is very easy with tutorials found on youtube."

"We are already using the system in our student courses and appreciate its compact design,  quick installation and ease of handling. The support is also excellent."

"Small and mobile which makes it very versatile, easy to use and to train other people, good tutorials"
