What can measure changes in the turbidity of a bacterial culture?

Changes in the turbidity of a bacterial culture can be measured using a spectrophotometer, which quantifies the amount of light scattered by the culture at specific wavelengths. As bacterial density increases, the culture becomes more turbid, resulting in higher absorbance readings. Additionally, a nephelometer can also be used to measure turbidity by detecting scattered light at specific angles. Both methods provide an indirect assessment of bacterial growth over time.
