riist valguse polarisatsiooni mõõtmiseks ja optiliselt aktiivsetes lahustes polarisatsioonitasandi pöördenurga määramiseks
an instrument used to determine the angle through which the plane of polarization of plane-polarized light is rotated on passing through an optically active substance
Polarimeter with international sugar scale (ºS) complying with ICUMSA definitions.
Good to know
Essentially, a polarimeter consists of a light source, a polarizer (e.g. a sheet of Polaroid) for producing plane-polarized light, a transparent cell containing the sample, and an analyser. ... Simple portable polarimeters are used for estimating the concentrations of sugar solutions in confectionary manufacture.
