A digital polarimeter is an instrument used in analytical chemistry to measure the optical rotation of optically active substances. Optical rotation refers to the rotation of the plane of polarized light as it passes through a sample containing chiral molecules. Chiral molecules are molecules that are not superimposable on their mirror image and exhibit handedness.
