Suppose you have a collection of about 100 different sun blocks. The
light protection factor (LPF) is specified by the manufacturer and is printed
on the label of the tubes. Now if you were a scientist who had to check
the correctness of the specified light protection factors, you would have
two choices: (1) you could apply one of the standard methods to measure
the LPF. These procedures are time-consuming, expensive and bear some health
risks for the test persons. (2) You could measure the spectra of the sun
blocks and set up a model which relates the spectra to the light protection
factors. Thereafter you could apply the model to perform a screening of
unknown samples. Click on the picture below to see the steps in detail.
