Colorimeter vs. Spectrophotometer — What's the Difference?

Any of various instruments used to determine or specify colors, as by comparison with spectroscopic or visual standards.

An instrument used to determine the relative intensity of various wavelengths in a spectrum of light.

An instrument that measures the concentration of a known constituent of a solution by comparison with colors of standard solutions of that constituent.

(physics) An instrument used to measure the intensity of electromagnetic radiation at different wavelengths.

Any of various instruments designed to determine the color of something, by comparison with standard colors or by spectroscopy.

An instrument for measuring or comparing the intensities of the colors of the spectrum.

(analytical chemistry) An analytic instrument that estimates the concentration of a substance in a sample by measuring its color against the solution's complementary color.

An analytical instrument for measuring the degree of absorption of light at different wavelengths by a chemical substance. A specific pattern of absorption intensities at a series of wavelengths is a characteristic of each different chemical substance.

An instrument for measuring the depth of the color of anything, especially of a liquid, by comparison with a standard liquid.

A photometer for comparing two light radiations wavelength by wavelength

A measuring instrument used in colorimetric analysis to determine the quantity of a substance from the color it yields with specific reagents
