Colorimeters

A colorimeter is a chemical measuring device used to determine the amount of solute dissolved in a solution. The colorimeter determines the concentration of the solution based on the wavelengths of light that are pass through the solution to a photoresistor that measures the light. Colorimeters make use of optical filters that can be adjusted to the wavelengths of light that pass through the solution of interest.
