NIST High Accuracy Reference Reflectometer-Spectrophotometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new reflectometer-spectrophotometer has been designed and constructed using state-of-the-art technology to enhance optical properties of materials measurements over the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) wavelength range (200 nm to 2500 nm). The instrument, Spectral Tri-function Automated Reference Reflectometer (STARR), is capable of measuring specular and diffuse reflectance, bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of diffuse samples, and both diffuse and non-diffuse transmittance. Samples up to 30 cm by 30 cm can be measured. The instrument and its characterization are described.

Development of a Bolometer Detector System for the NIST High Accuracy Infrared Spectrophotometer
A bolometer detector system was developed for the high accuracy infrared spectrophotometer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology to provide maximum sensitivity, spatial uniformity, and linearity of response covering the entire infrared spectral range. The spatial response variation was measured to be within 0.1 %. The linearity of the detector output was measured over three deca...
متن کاملLimitations of methods for measuring the concentration of human genomic DNA and oligonucleotide samples.
We compared different methods (absorbance, fluorescent dye-binding, and digital PCR) for measuring the concentrations of human genomic DNA from cultured cells and absorbance measurements of a synthetic DNA oligonucleotide. NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2082, a pathlength absorbance standard, was used to benchmark the absorbance measurements done with microvolume spectrophotometers and ...

Estimation of water soluble hexavalent chromium and total chromium has been devised. For the complete extraction of water soluble hexavalent chromium, leaching period of five days is done. It was ascertained that complete extraction was achieved in five days; the total chromium determination in these samples was done by fusing sample with sodium carbonate up to 1050 C in muffle furnace. Chromiu...
