Transmittance Measurement With Spectrometers
Transmittance is light incident on a sample that transmits through it. If the sample has low scatter (as with a clean, dilute solution), almost all the light not absorbed or reflected will be transmitted. Transmittance measurements are useful in characterizing translucent or transparent samples.
Use Ocean Optics Spectrometers for Transmittance
Advantages
- Configurability – useable with transmission probes, sample holders
- Simplicity – easy to use and understand
- Versatility – readily converted for absorbance measurements
Applications
- Characterization of glass optical filters and windows
- Measurement of clear solvents
- QC of thin films and coatings in electronics manufacturing
How to Measure Transmittance with Ocean Optics Spectrometers
In this video, we explain transmission spectroscopy and demonstrate how to measure optical transmission using Ocean Optics spectrometers and OceanView software.
You’ll learn how transmission differs from absorbance, how to put together a typical transmission configuration using Ocean Optics spectrometers and accessories.
