Iranian Universities Conduct Biological, Biochemical Research by Home-Made Optical Spectrometer
Based on the report, the home-made optical spectrometer produced by specialists of an Iranian technological company has been utilized for biological and biochemical research activities nationwide.
Tabriz University, Isfahan University of Technology, Kashan University, Materials and Energy Research Institute, Amir Kabir University of Technology, University of Tehran, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz and Shiraz University of Technology have so far been the customers of the optical spectrometer/miniature ultraviolet UV/Vis.
The optical spectrometer manufactured by the company is very small and portable and enjoys the ability to work in the UV/Vis and NIR range of the electromagnetic spectrum (850-190 nm), which can be adjusted based on the user’s need.
The practical and user-friendly driver and software of the spectrometer device has been developed by the experts of the company in a way that it can be installed and used on all types of personal computers (PC) and is compatible with Windows operating systems available in the market.
The source of visible and ultraviolet light as well as optical fiber probes are peripheral equipment of the device with the help of which the device can be used in absorption, transmission, reflection and radiation modes.
In general, a spectrometer is a device that separates spectral components of a continuous characteristic such as electromagnetism so that it can be measured. An optical spectrometer takes a beam of light and separates it into its constituent wavelengths using a dispersive element such as a grating or prism, and then measures the relative intensities of these wavelengths using an optical sensing element. Optical spectrometers work primarily in the visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum, extending into the UV and IR regions, and are used to perform optical spectroscopy.
Optical spectroscopy uses light to probe the properties of materials or structures. By studying the wavelength and intensity of light that is emitted, transmitted, reflected or absorbed by a material or structure, various properties of the sample can be determined. For example, the concentration of molecules in solution can be determined by measuring the light absorbed by the solution, or the thickness of films can be calculated by the reflected light.
