The apparatus consists of a Duboscq colorimeter and an incandescent li ght source with suitable spectral filters and glass photometric standa rds for the measurement of absorbancy in sugar solutions. The a bsorbancy of all except very pale solutions, may be determined at 560 m}.! by using a special yellow-green filter. Solutions of high-grade sugar products having little color a re treated as a special case, and using a blue filter, measurements are made at 460 m}.!. The results obtainable are satisfactory for technical purposes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
