  • Measurement of the absorption coefficient of light absorbing liquids and their use for quantitative imaging of surface topography
    Patent number: 8482733
    Abstract: An optical measurement system for obtaining information such as the absorption coefficient of a light-absorbing liquid, or a surface profile of an object immersed in a light-absorbing liquid having a known absorption coefficient. The system includes a light source that transmits light through the liquid, a detector that records an image of the light transmitted through the sample and a processor or other means adapted to analyze the intensity distribution found on the image to generate information about the sample.
    Type: Grant
