Spectrophotometers are usually built based on one of these two kinds of geometry; d/8 (diffuse/8) and 45/0. Considering that measured or observed colors depend on the illuminating and viewing conditions, the 45/0 spectrophotometer geometry or d/8 geometry affects the results. In addition, the sample characteristics such as gloss or texture can also influence the measuring results. Therefore, th...

Recent advances in portable spectrophotometers have allowed researchers to collect quantitative, objective data on colour. There are few comparisons of the different methods used to summarize and analyse spectrophotometer data, however. Using colour data on over 900 species of birds, we compared three methods of calculating sexual dichromatism using spectrophotometer data. We also compared sexu...

This research aims to study about developing and demonstrating the low-cost and portable light absorbance measurement device for using and learning in analytical experiments. In chemistry experiments, the concentration of solutions is important for mixing the sample or making medicines. In present, a UV-spectrophotometer is commonly used to check the absorbance of solution for investigating con...

The aim of this study is ultraviolet and infrared spectral characterization of eight new xanthine derivatives. Spectral analysis was performed using an Agilent 8453 Series spectrophotometer and a Tensor 27 Optics FT-IR spectrophotometer. The UV and IR spectra for xanthine derivatives were obtained and in addition, the wavelength maxima of absorption bands and characteristics have been established.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This in vitro study compared the shade matching abilities of an intraoral spectrophotometer and the conventional visual method using two shade guides. The results of previous investigations between color perceived by human observers and color assessed by instruments have been inconclusive. The objectives were to determine accuracies and interrater agreement of both met...
