A colorimeter is a device used in colorimetry that measures the absorbance of particular wavelengths of light by a specific solution.[4] Changeable optics filters are used in the colorimeter to select the wavelength which the solute absorbs the most, in order to maximize accuracy.In modern colorimeters the filament lamp and filters may be replaced by several (light-emitting diode) of different colors.An automated colorimeter (as used in an AutoAnalyzer) is fitted with a flowcell through which solution flows continuously.In addition, the output may be sent to a chart recorder, data logger, or computer.
