XLed is a proprietary technology developed by Kamax.
It enables highly precise measurement of hair fibre diameter
through controlled LED illumination imaging.
This approach provides a direct, reproducible, and objective dimensional assessment
of variations in hair diameter, supporting claims related to volume, thickening, and hair density.
Brightfield imaging under patented LED illumination
A controlled illumination system enables the capture of precise images of the hair fibre.
High-precision dimensional measurement
Hair fibre diameter is measured with a precision of up to one-tenth of a micrometre.
Applicable to a wide range of hair types
The method enables the analysis of Caucasian, Asian, and other types of hair fibres.
As with XPolar® measurements, XLED analyses are performed
using the K-Probe® system developed by Kamax.
This instrument enables the acquisition of precise images of hair fibres
and the automatic extraction of dimensional measurements.
Unlike methods based solely on longitudinal observation of the hair,
XLED technology allows for the analysis of cross-sections of cut fibres.
This approach provides a more precise interpretation of dimensional changes in the fibre.
It notably enables :
