Image of my spectrophotometer reading a cuvette.
Curve obtained from the reaction of my spit and starch-iodine.
My spectrophotometer measures the light intensity of a cuvette placed inside of it. It was used to monitor a half-hour reaction between my spit and starch-iodine, where the amalyse in my spit caused the solution to become more and more transparent over time.
Arduino and Python code here. Project report below.
