Introduction to Spectroscopy and Colorimetry

Spectroscopy is a broad term for studying the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation (light). In medicine, we often focus on molecular spectroscopy, where light helps us understand the chemical makeup of substances. Colorimetry is a specific, simpler type of spectroscopy that deals with visible light and colored solutions.

The basic principle behind both is that when light passes through a substance, some of it gets absorbed, and some passes through (transmitted). The amount of light absorbed is related to the concentration of the substance.
