UV-Vis Instrumentation : From Routine to Advanced Applications Part II

Whereas the focus of Part I of this two part series was on entry level and mid-performance instrumentation, Part II will focus on the high end UV-Vis-nir instrumentation and the accessories which allow for a more complex measurements to be made. Measurements such as diffuse reflection and Absolute Reflectance at angles will be examined.
