Polarimeters
Frequently Asked Questions
A polarimeter is a scientific instrument used to measure the rotation of polarized light as it passes through a sample.
There are two main types of polarimeters: manual polarimeters, which require the user to manually adjust the instrument's components to measure rotation, and automatic polarimeters, which use an automated system to measure rotation.
A polarimeter measures the rotation of polarized light, while a refractometer measures the bending of light as it passes through a sample.
Polarimeters are commonly used in pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries to determine the concentration, purity, and identity of substances. They are also used in research laboratories to study the properties of materials.
Using a polarimeter allows for precise measurement of a sample's optical activity and can provide information on the sample's molecular structure, concentration, and purity.
Some factors to consider when choosing a polarimeter include the accuracy and sensitivity of the instrument, the type of sample being measured, the level of automation required, and the availability of software for data analysis.
