Who Invented Nephelometer

Theodore William Richards invented the nephelometer, adiabatic calorimeter.

When was the nephelometer invented?

This turbidity can be measured by an instrument called a nephelometer. Beginning in the 1970s, Clive Coogan, from the Division of Chemical Physics, developed a new instrument, known as the Fibre Optic Nephelometer that was a significant advance in the measurement of turbidity.

Why can we measure by using nephelometer?

A nephelometer is an instrument dedicated to the measurement of the turbidity or cloudiness of a sample. … A nephelometer is used to measure light scattering (light reflected off the particles in a sample), not the attenuation of light (absorbance) caused by turbidity.
