Specialty Definitions: Densitometer

Domain	Definitions
Aerospace	An instrument for the measurement of optical density (photographic transmission, photographic reflection, visual transmission, etc.) of a material, generally of a photographic image. (references)
Biology & Biotechnology	In X-ray densitometry, device used for the measurement of optical density of an X-ray film. The film of the radiographed samples rests on a movable table which passes over a light source with a slit-shaped aperture(measuring slit). The light signals of varying intensity are transformed by a potentiometer into electrical impulses. These in turn activate a strip-chart recorder. A magnetic storage unit registers selected values.

Meteorology & Standards	An instrument which measures the optical density of a radiographic film. Source: European Union. (references)
	A)in photography, a sensitive photoelectric instrument which measures the density of photographic plates or colours; b)in printing, a reflection densitometer used to measure the density of colour to determine whether it is consistent through the run. Source: European Union. (references)
