Abstract
Apparatus and methods for measuring dye concentration in liquids are described herein. An example method includes emitting first electromagnetic radiation having a first wavelength through a first end of a tube for a first duration of time, the tube being filled with a liquid and a dye diluted in the liquid to a first concentration, ceasing the emission of the first electromagnetic radiation for a second duration of time following the first duration of time, detecting a first strength of second electromagnetic radiation emitted by a luminophor coated on a screen at a second end of the tube at the conclusion of the second duration of time, the luminophor having luminescent properties such that the first electromagnetic radiation causes the luminophor to emit the second electromagnetic radiation having a second wavelength, wherein the second electromagnetic radiation is partially absorbed by the dye and the amount of the second electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the dye depends on the first concentration, and determining the first concentration based on the first strength.
