    Overview Polarimeters


    What is Polarimetry?

    When held against the light, a basic polarizing filter looks grey. Only light of one specific plane of oscillation passes it. If two such filters are held crossed in tandem no light passes the filter pair.

    Certain substances, sugar solutions for example, show a phenomenon called "rotation of polarization due to optical activity". Such substances are called "optically active".

    If such a substance is positioned between two crossed polarizing filters, a certain amount of light is admitted through the filter pair. The amount of light now becomes a measurement for the passage of light through the substance the concentration of the substance certain constants specific to the substance.

    Automatic
    polarimeter

    The A.KRÜSS Optronic automatic polarimeter P8000 is characterized by excellent measurement speed over the whole range. A special measuring method provides continuously-calculated analytical results at a measuring time down to one second! Additional benefits include the easy-to-use touch screen and a clearly-arranged readout of all important measuring data.

    Basic
    automatic
    polarimeter

    An automatic polarimeter, easy to operate, with automatic detection and digital angle conversion. Included in delivery is beside the accessory also a software for your computer.

    Beside a high-quality metalstand it also posseses a sampleboard appropriate for tubes up to 220 mm length.


    Automatic hand-
    held polarimeter

    The new mobility in polarimetry: A compact hand-held polarimeter for measuring optically active substances. No sample preparation, no cuvette and a very fast measuring time of less than 2 seconds: Simple handling excludes measurings errors conditional of operator. We are proud to present the worlds first and only hand-held polarimeter: the HP100.
