Visible Spectrophotometer

A spectrophotometer measures the amount of light absorbed or transmitted by a sample as a function of wavelength. In the case of visible spectrophotometers, the wavelengths measured are in the visible light range (approximately 390 – 700 nm). Examples of applications for visible spectrophotometry include quantification of nucleic acids, studying transition metals, and visualizing organic compounds. Many models of visible spectrophotometer include UV and NIR wavelengths which go beyond the 390 – 700 nm ranges. Either single beam or double beam models are available for purchase.
