Physical Properties of Cotton Fibers Measured with Cottonscope

This research explores the physical properties of cotton fibers as measured, via image analysis, with Cottonscope in comparison to other standard methods, i.e. air-flow micronaire. Micronaire measurements are a loose indicator of fiber fineness and maturity. Modern methods of precisely determining these fiber traits can be used to understand the complex interaction between fineness and maturity which results in the micronaire values.
