* [[Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy|'''UV-Vis spectrophotometer''']]: Measures light absorption in UV and visible ranges (200-800&nbsp;nm). Used for quantification of many inorganic and organic compounds.
* [[Infrared spectroscopy|'''Infrared spectrophotometer''']]: Measures infrared light absorption, allowing identification of chemical bonds and functional groups.
* [[Atomic absorption spectroscopy|'''Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS)''']]: Uses absorption of light by vaporized analyte atoms to determine concentrations of metals and metalloids.
* [[Fluorescence spectroscopy|'''Fluorescence spectrophotometer''']]: Measures intensity of fluorescent light emitted from samples after excitation. Allows highly sensitive analysis of samples with native or induced fluorescence.
* [[Colorimeter (chemistry)|'''Colorimeter''']]: Simple spectrophotometers used to measure light absorption for colorimetric assays and tests.
