| In addition to our new on-line store, we've 
		also launched a new model, our 190-F1. This tool is based on the same 
		form factor as our Standard Goniometers 200-F1 and 250-F1. It also 
		includes a high-speed F1 series digital camera. The 190-F1 ships with 
		our DROPimage CA software making it a cost-effective entry-level tool 
		priced under $10k. In addition, it can easily be upgraded at a later 
		date with DROPimage Standard or Advanced. There are also a number of 
		popular modular accessories which can be added. 
		The 190-F1, like all other currently 
		offered ramé-hart models is a complete turn-key system including the 
		instrument, backlighting system, manual dispensing, camera, software, 
		PC, and LCD -- everything you need, out of the box, to start taking 
		contact angle measurements. 
		 Model 190-F1
 Shown above is the Model 190-F1 which 
		includes the light source. The PC and LCD (not shown) are also included 
		with this system.   | 
  
    | We've also introduced a completely new 
		tilting base option. For many years ramé-hart has offered a tilting base 
		(p/n 100-06). The tilting base is designed to allow researchers to 
		measure advancing, receding and roll-off angles. The old model was 
		available as a manual device only. The new design is available in (2) 
		models: The 100-25-M (as shown below) is a manual device with a hand 
		crank allowing the user to change the tilt of the instrument from 0° 
		to 90° 
		in both directions. The Model 100-25-A is virtually identical except in 
		lieu of the hand crank, there is a stepper motor which controls the 
		tilt. The tilt control is accomplished in our DROPimage Advanced 
		software. Note that 100-25-M, the manual version, began shipping last 
		month; the 100-25-A is currently in production and will be available 
		this quarter. 
		 Model 100-25-M
 We also have an upgrade kit which will 
		allow the purchaser of a 100-25-M to upgrade later on from the manual 
		version to a motor-driven software-controlled 100-25-A. We're excited 
		about this new product and the improvements it brings to our instrument 
		line-up. If you have any questions regarding our 
		new 100-25 Tilting Base, our new Model 190-F1, or if you require any 
		assistance with our new online spare parts store at
		www.ramehartstore.com, please 
		don't hesitate to call or email. We are dedicated to 100% customer 
		satisfaction and we appreciate all of your comments and feedback.  |
