Spectrophotometry, which examines the light spectrum emitted or absorbed by materials and analyzes their composition, is used in a wide variety of fields including food, agriculture and medicine. Up until now, spectrophotometry was typically performed in a chemical laboratory using large benchtop spectrometers.
This SMD series spectrometer is expected to be used in hand-held instruments with limitations to their size or weight, simultaneous multipoint measurements, and other applications.
