Spectrophotometers

A spectrophotometer is an analytical device used to measure how much light a substance absorbs at specific wavelengths. By passing light through a sample, it records the amount of light absorbed, which correlates to the concentration of a particular compound within the sample. This instrument helps in many fields, such as chemistry, biology, and environmental science, by providing precise data on material composition. Essentially, it transforms light measurements into meaningful information about the sample's properties, enabling accurate analysis of substances in a straightforward and efficient manner.
