When Is Spectrophotometry Used?

Spectrophotometry is widely used for quantitative analysis in various areas (e.g., chemistry, physics, biology, biochemistry, material and chemical engineering, clinical applications, industrial applications, etc). Any application that deals with chemical substances or materials can use this technique.

What can spectrophotometry be used for?

Spectrophotometry applications are useful to measure the absorbance, reflectance, and transmission of light by gases, liquids, and solids.

How is spectrophotometry used in medicine?

The spectrophotometry is a method that evaluate the color of a lesion by measuring its reflectance as a function of the wavelength. A pioneer in this field was Marshall [41] who described a comprehensive analysis of pigmented lesions under both ultraviolet and infrared radiations.
