Refractometer
Refractometer: A Window into Liquid Composition
A refractometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the refractive index of a liquid. This index is essentially a measure of how light bends as it passes through a substance. By determining the refractive index, we can infer properties like:
- Sugar content (Brix): This is commonly used in the food industry for juices, syrups, and wine.
- Salinity: Important for marine applications and aquaculture.
- Protein concentration: Used in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
- Alcohol content: Used in the beverage industry.
