Mineralogy & Geochemistry Laboratories Physicochemical analysis ‍Spectrophotometer ‍CADAS ‍100

UV/VIS: ‍Spectrophotometer ‍CADAS ‍100

Molecules are irradiated with electromagnetic waves in the visible and ultraviolet light range. Valence electrons of, for example, p and d orbitals of the outer shells are excited. The energy absorption of the analysed molecule is used to obtain information about bonding conditions in the molecule.
