Spectrophotometry is a branch of electromagnetic spectroscopy concerned with the quantitative measurement of the reflection or transmission properties of a material as a function of wavelength. [2] Spectrophotometry uses photometers , known as spectrophotometers, that can measure the intensity of a light beam at different wavelengths.
The laser was invented because spectroscopists took the concept of its predecessor, the maser, and applied it to the visible and infrared ranges of light. [87] The maser was invented by Charles Townes and other spectroscopists to stimulate matter to determine the radiative frequencies that specific atoms and molecules emitted. [ 87 ]
An optical spectrometer (spectrophotometer, ... The term was first used in 1876 by Dr. Henry Draper when he invented the earliest version of this device, ...
DU Spectrophotometer, National Technical Laboratories, 1947. The DU spectrophotometer or Beckman DU, introduced in 1941, was the first commercially viable scientific instrument for measuring the amount of ultraviolet light absorbed by a substance.
Spectroscopy is a branch of science concerned with the spectra of electromagnetic radiation as a function of its wavelength or frequency measured by spectrographic equipment, and other techniques, in order to obtain information concerning the structure and properties of matter. [4]
An XPS spectrometer. A spectrometer (/ s p ɛ k ˈ t r ɒ m ɪ t ər /) is a scientific instrument used to separate and measure spectral components of a physical phenomenon. Spectrometer is a broad term often used to describe instruments that measure a continuous variable of a phenomenon where the spectral components are somehow mixed.
The first low-cost spectrophotometer capable of recording an infrared spectrum was the Perkin-Elmer Infracord produced in 1957. [3] This instrument covered the wavelength range from 2.5 μm to 15 μm (wavenumber range 4,000 cm −1 to 660 cm −1).
A Calutron is a sector mass spectrometer that was used for separating the isotopes of uranium developed by Ernest O. Lawrence [11] during the Manhattan Project and was similar to the Cyclotron invented by Lawrence.
