The solid-state nature of CCD (charge-coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) imaging chips means that digital cameras can be very robust, which is of significant benefit in a laboratory environment. Many devices are highly portable, being hand

During continuous stirring, the transparency of the sample was determined by a voltage controlled semiconductor laser and a silicium-photodiode at a wavelength of 500 nm and a heating or cooling rate of 1 °C·min−1. All critical temperatures were detected by determination of the
