Usage: technical; chemistry; physics

Examples

• The chemist observed multiple dextrorotations when analyzing the optical properties of the sugar solution.
• Dextrorotations of polarized light indicate the presence of certain chiral molecules in the sample.
• The laboratory recorded several dextrorotations during the spectroscopic experiment.
• Different compounds exhibit varying degrees of dextrorotations depending on their molecular structure.
• The physicist measured the dextrorotations to determine the concentration of the optically active substance.
