In spectroscopy, an isosbestic point is a specific wavelength at which two chemical species have the same molar absorptivity (ε) or, more generally, are linearly related. The word derives from two Greek words: "isos", meaning "equal", and "sbestos", meaning "extinguishable".

Famous quotes containing the word point:
“How oft when men are at the point of death
Have they been merry! which their keepers call
A lightning before death: O, how may I
Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife!
Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
