How to Measure

The ratio of velocity of penetrating or reflecting light against velocity of incoming light to an object is measured using a spectrophotometer. While UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer measures spectrum distribution in the range of 185nm~3,300nm, FT-IR Spectrophotometer measures spectrum distribution in the range of 4000cm-1~200cm-1(2500nm~50,000nm).

Sample Size

Larger than 5cm(W) x 5cm(L)

Applicable field
