Densitometer is a device that measures the degree darkness in photographic or semitransparent material. The desitometer is basically a light source aimed at a photoelectric cell which determines the density of the sample from differences in the readings. Modern ones have the same components but also have electronic integrated circuitry for better reading. There are 2 types which are: A solar cell, a form of photovoltaic cell, is a device that uses the photoelectric effect to generate electricity from light, thus generating solar power (energy). ...

In general, it is known to use a Brice type densitometer for measuring the declination of light based on the difference of the refractive index and a Fresnel reflection densitometer for detecting the variation of energy of the reflected light as a difference of the refractive index.
Although the latter Fresnel type densitometer is in commercial use, with this apparatus, it is necessary to adjust the optical axis of the incident and reflected light because the refractive indices of the media for measurement are different.
In the densitometer of the invention, a reflection of the partial light passed from the first gasket element through the packing element on the surface of the gasket is prevented by inserting the second glass elements between the first packing element and the first gasket and between the second packing element and the second gasket.
