Measuring the “Color” of Glass Plates using Shimadzu UV-Vis Spectrophotometers
17 Aug 2015Color measurement is important to many industries with applications in food, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and glass works. To demonstrate the measurement of color on two different Shimadzu UV-Vis spectrophotometers, spectra were acquired of a set of glass filters. Scans were performed with a Shimadzu UV-1800 spectrophotometer and a Shimadzu UV-2600 spectrophotometer equipped with and without an ISR-2600Plus Integrating sphere. This application note presents a quick and easy method to quantify color values for samples including glass materials.

UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.

Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. GlassGlass is an amorphous solid (non-crystalline) typically made up of silica and silicon dioxide. This transparent solid has many applications, from window panes to optical lenses for microscopes.SpectrometrySpectrometry is a technique used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. It provides valuable information about the composition, structure, and molecular weight of compounds. Used across a variety of fields, including chemistry, biology, and environmental science, spectrometry is essential for identifying substances, analyzing mixtures, and developing new products.
