Spectrophotometry vs. Spectroscopy Spectrophotometry and spectroscopy are undoubtedly similar words — however, these terms are not interchangeable. While spectrophotometry and spectroscopy deal with related concepts, they focus on different scientific interactions and outcomes to gain varying insights. Through this guide, you’ll learn about the difference between spectrophotometry and spectroscopy, their basic definitions and the instruments […]

In various color measurement applications, you may notice that the apparent lightness of a sample differs based on its glossiness. For example, the color of a glossy blue object seems more vivid than a rough-textured object of the same hue. Two samples with different surface textures can be viewed as different colors. Spectrophotometers measured the […]

Spatial and spectral resolution in remote sensing are both critical for specific applications. Both are advanced geospatial technologies with critical uses in geoimaging and other applications. However, spatial and spectral resolution are not the same. Learn more about how these two resolution methods work and which one is optimized for your applications. Spatial vs. Spectral […]

For diverse industries and biopharmaceutical applications, color measurement is critical to ensuring the safety and quality of products. Two color measurement devices that industries may use for these requirements are a spectrophotometer and a Chroma meter. While these devices have some general applications in common, their measurement methods and uses have some key differences. Which […]
