ratio of the signals from the 90° and transmitted light detector. This ratio technique
corrects for interferences from color and/or light absorbing materials (such as
activated carbon) and compensates for fluctuations in lamp intensity, providing
long-term calibration stability. The optical design also minimizes stray light,
increasing measurement accuracy.
