	Absorption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics, absorption is a process in which particles of some sort encounter another material and are taken up by or even disappear in it.
		Volume absorption of particles of gas or liquid in liquid or solid material is studied in physical chemistry.
		Absorption should not be confused with adsorption, the formation of a liquid or gas film on a solid surface.

		Based upon the known cross-section of this absorption line [18] and the observed value for the noise in the determination of the ring-down time, the instrument should be able to detect water vapor at a few parts per trillion (ppt) levels in nitrogen or other inert gases.
		Based upon the known cross section of this absorption line [18] and the observed value for the noise in the determination of the ring-down time, the instrument should be able to detect water vapor at a few ppt levels in nitrogen or other inert gases.
		This absorption coefficient is related to the number density by a known factor, the cross-section of the line.

	MARIJUANA OPTICS: An elaboration on the process that makes THC
		When the resin spheres are separated from the dried plant material by electrostatic (3) attraction and placed on a microscope slide illuminated with a 100W incandescent bulb, they appear very dark when observed through a 300X microscope.
		Since orange, red, and infrared are the component wavelengths of incandescent light, and since the absorption of light makes an object dark or opaque to the frequency of the incoming wave, one can conclude that these wavelengths are probably not directly involved in energizing the cannabinoid pathway.
		Of all the ways that optics are involved in the phytochemical production of THC, the most interesting has to be how the head cells and cannabinoid molecules are tremendously magnified (8) by the resin sphere.

	Phytoplankton Lab: Hydrologic Optics Primer
		Optics is the part of physics that deals with light in the visible spectrum.
		Optics also deals with light in the invisible spectrum, infrared and ultraviolet light.
		As a result of absorption, fewer photons, therefore less light, are penetrating further downward into the water column.

		On the basis of differential optical absorption with and without contrast enhancement, a photoacoustic angiograph of a rat brain is acquired that matches the anatomical photograph well and exhibits high spatial resolution and a much-reduced background.
		The optical properties of the first layer and the absorption of the second layer could be retrieved with excellent precision, whereas the reduced scattering coefficient of the second layer was reconstructed with a large error.
		A novel approach to reconstructing both the absorption and the scattering properties of a turbid medium simultaneously from steady-state broadband spectral measurements is presented that utilizes second-differential fitting to the water spectrum to estimate the optical path length in tissue.

		Surface contamination due to foreign materials on the surface of optics such as dust, oil, grease, fingerprints, and hydrocarbons (that may deposit on optical surfaces due to intracavity contaminants) are leading sources of absorption, and are a primary cause of shortened optic lifetimes and effficiency.
		The level of 10.6µm wavelength absorption coupled with the thermal conduction characteristics of the optic and its mount, are of prime importance in determining the performance of a laser system and the lifetime of optics in that system.
		In laser vacuum calorimetry, optic samples are mounted in a vacuum for thermal isolation.

		Because absorption dominates most of the spectrum, data must be collected in wavelength ranges that occur in an atmospheric window, with the assumption that only scattering is taking place.
		In other words, the absorption coefficient is a function of the absorption strength of a given species of particle, as well as a function of the particle density.
		The region from 0.7–2.0 μm is dominated by water vapor absorption, whereas the region from 2.0–4.0 μm is dominated by a combination of water and carbon dioxide absorption.

		The calculation was based on a numerical Kramers-Kronig analysis of the carrier-related imaginary part of the dielectric function e2.

		It was established that soliton propagation in transmission lines where strong third-order dispersion is present can be reasonably described in terms of the second-order perturbation theory.

		This problem is most pronounced at low wavelength, since the pi to pi* absorption band of the peptide bond can be quite sharp and have a steep shoulder.
		My recommendation is to make a wavelength scan of the sample and find the exact peak of the absorption.
		You can find out the effect for yourself by finding the point of the steepest slope in the absorption band and measure a scan across the entire cell by running it at a slow speed so it doesn't sediment.

		For the experiments of heterologous association (different proteins or protein and nucleic acid) we need exact information about the molecular mass of the reactants under the choosen conditions and also the initial concentrations.
