Abstract

A nephelometer instrument capable of measuring from zero to 10,000 NTUs. The instrument includes four light detectors, three of which are positioned such that they measure light scattered at specific directions by a liquid sample. The fourth detector measures light transmitted through the sample. A removable light filter is also included. The light beam is focused on the front surface of the sample cell.
