Preferred Label : nephelometry and turbidimetry;
MeSH definition : Chemical analysis based on the phenomenon whereby light, passing through a medium
with dispersed particles of a different refractive index from that of the medium,
is attenuated in intensity by scattering. In turbidimetry, the intensity of light
transmitted through the medium, the unscattered light, is measured. In nephelometry,
the intensity of the scattered light is measured, usually, but not necessarily, at
right angles to the incident light beam.;
MeSH synonym : turbidimetry and nephelometry;
MeSH hyponym : turbidimetry; nephelometry;
MeSH annotation : NIM; DF: NEPHELOMETRY;
