Digital automatic high performance refractometer
The DSR is a new refractometer from Schmidt + Haensch featuring a patented multiwavelength source and detector along with Peltier temperature controlled sample holder. The DSR is a microprocessor controlled, critical angle refractometer for measuring the optical density of a wide range of liquid media from low to high viscosity, and independent of opacity and color. The DSR can be programmed to make a series of index measurements automatically with different settings of wavelength, temperature and time interval. The spectroscopic data is aquired at the discrete wavelengths of light sources in the instrument and the data can be plotted and intepolated for the full spectral range.


 
Applications of Refractometers

Spectroscopic
Refractometry

The DSR is particularly useful for measuring the optical properties of materials when the relationship between refraction and color are important in such materials as polymers, glasses, electro optical devices. The index-spectral data could potentialy be used for 'fingerprinting ' the characteristics of products such as beverages, wine, perfumes, inks....
