Turbidometry

Turbidometry

Turbidometry (the name being derived from "turbidity") is the process of measuring the amount of light that a solution absorbs. Light is passed through a filter creating a light of known wavelength which is then passed through a cuvette containing a solution. A photoelectric cell collects the light which passes through the cuvette. A measurement is then given for the amount of absorbed light.

It can be used in biology to find the number of cells in a solution.
