Infrared light is directed at a cuvette containing the sample water. This light is scattered in all directions off the particles in the water. A detector, consisting of a photodiode, is placed at a 90° angle to the light source. The amount of light being scattered directly into the detector is measured in volts and translated into turbidity units.
