Abstract: A thin film analyzer capable of static and dynamic measurements is disclosed. The apparatus collects and analyzes spectral reflectance data as a function of time. It is especially useful for measuring the changing thickness of a transparent, organic thin film as it is dissolved by a solvent. The measurements can be made with small quantities of solvent, on the order of one milliliter, in small, localized areas on a coated substrate, thereby allowing multiple, independent measurements on each substrate with minimal consumption of solvent.
