   Spectrophotometer
   An instrument that analyses characteristics of organic compounds through transmittance of light waves through solutions. Ultra-violet, and infra-red wave lengths are commonly employed. Ordinary light can be used in certain types of instruments, and electromagnetic fields are employed in some instruments.

   Spectrophotometer
   Spectrophotometer: A device which measures the amount of ultraviolet light absorbed by a substance. For example, vitamin A absorbs ultraviolet light so that a spectrophotometer can measure within minutes with almost perfect accuracy the amount of vitamin A in a given food. The spectrophotometer, a key instrument today in biomedical laboratories, wa ...
