Spectropolarimeter
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005510
An optical instrument that measures the polarization state of light as a function of its wavelength. It combines the functions of a spectrometer and a polarimeter to analyze how materials interact with polarized light across the electromagnetic spectrum. These instruments are used in fields such as chemistry, biology, and astronomy to study material properties or celestial objects.
