A polarimeter[1] is a scientific instrument used to measure optical rotation: the angle of rotation caused by passing linearly polarized light through an optically active substance.

Polarimeters are digital or manual instruments that generate polarized light and measure the angle of left or right rotation when that light passes through a chiral substance.

Feb 25, 2025 · A polarimeter is an instrument that measures the angle by which a substance rotates the plane of polarized light—known as optical rotation. This is used to study optically …

A polarimeter is an optical instrument used to measure the angle by which the polarization of light is rotated when passing through an optically active medium, which contains chiral molecules.

A polarimeter is an instrument used to measure the angle of rotation of polarized light as it passes through an optically active substance, allowing for the determination of the substance's …

Polarimeters are scientific instruments used for measuring the rotation of the plane of polarized light as it passes through a sample of a compound which exhibits optical activity.

At its core, a polarimeter is a scientific instrument designed to measure the angle of rotation of plane-polarized light as it passes through an optically active substance.
