Transmittance is light incident on a sample that transmits through it. If the sample has low scatter (as with a clean, dilute solution), almost all the light not absorbed will be transmitted.
Advantages of Absorbance
- Can be used to characterize effectiveness of samples such as optical coatings, window tinting and plastic tubing
- Simple configuration. Setups can be assembled using virtually the same components as for absorbance measurements
- Multiple sampling options. Choose from transmission dip probes, filter and lens holder assemblies, and other fixtures
