Polarimeter

A polarimeter measures the angle of rotation of polarisation plane when linear polarized light goes through an optically active substance. The rotation angle of the polarization plane of linear polarized light is different for each optical active substance as described in the Law of Biot.

Polarimetry is a non-destructive test method for measuring optical activity of organic and inorganic substances. It is very useful to analyze expensive non-reproducible samples. Polarimeters are extensively used for quality and process control in research laboratories in the chemical and food industry.
