Microscopic measurement: not waste, do not want to quantify color

 

Almost every industry in the world measures in different ways. From quantity to quality, measurements must be consistent and accurate in order to increase productivity and profitability. However, the use of microscopic measurements is a real challenge in dealing with a limited supply of materials. Whether you are trying to eliminate waste products, treating rare or valuable materials, or simply not having extra material, accurate microscopic measurements are necessary when you need to quantify the data using only the smallest sample size.

The ability to measure color in production significantly reduces the costs associated with waste and product waste and greatly increases the efficiency and productivity of business operations. Colorimeters and spectrophotometers provide the microscopic configuration needed to measure a wide variety of materials. Pills and pharmaceutical reagents, paper, plastics, paints, food, etc. rely on color technology to meet stringent industry guidelines and to quantify color consistency and product quality. Small handheld devices have even been developed for portability and miniature measurement capabilities to meet the needs of the industrial market.
 
Take a closer look
 
Both science and manufacturing rely on measurement capabilities that are farther than human perception. By using microscopic techniques, tiny particles of molecules that some human eyes can not see now become reality. However, the real breakthrough in microscopic measurements is the use of light to accurately calculate the smallest particles in matter and to quantify them consistently.

Chroma technology marks a breakthrough in measurement capabilities. We measure the distance with a ruler and measure the weight with a scale, but the ability to measure color opens up a new field of possibilities. Using the advanced features of the human eye, scientists are able to define the three components of color vision using primary color receptors (red, green and blue). With the advent of new technologies, with the development of spectrophotometers, scientists have surpassed these three basic color components. This new technology has the ability to go beyond the main color range and includes multiple sensors that separate a single beam into reflected or transmitted light. The ability to measure spectral reflectance creates highly accurate color measurement applications in production and quality control. This has become particularly useful when dealing with microscopic measurements and small sample sizes.
 
Industrial applications of microscopic measurements
 
Versatility is the most commonly used function in colorimetric applications. Changes in the sample may include consistency, clarity, shape and size, but one of the most difficult challenges with spectrophotometry is accurate and consistent color measurement with limited sample or abundance. This can be a common challenge for the manufacturer, and when the product is very expensive or under-supplied, it is particularly important to use the smallest possible sample for color measurement.

The ability to accurately quantify microscopic measurements depends on the particular spectrophotometer attachment. The reproducibility of measurement methods is crucial for color discrimination, especially when dealing with ultra-small sample sizes. Spectrophotometers have been developed that use only a small amount of sample compared to traditional spectrophotometers. With this type of instrument, port opening must be specialized to match the sample size and eliminate any background interference. The versatility of the instrument should also account for sample-type changes from solid to powder, even transparent liquids, when dealing with micrometric measurements.
