Summary
Optical absorption spectroscopy is one of the oldest methods of physico-chemical analysis of biomolecules. The principle of operation of the method is simple - photons of a certain wave collide with a molecule and interact with it, based on the result we can judge the properties of the studied molecule. If a molecule absorbs a light wave, then depending on the amount and nature of the absorption energy, it is possible to judge many properties of this molecule.
The method, known as spectrophotometry, uses measurements of light intensity as a beam of light moves through a sample solution to determine how much a chemical compound absorbs light. The goal of the project was to develop an educational, low-cost spectrophotometer based on Arduino.
