I have a request to perform Turbidity measurements on something.  We have a 
Nephelometer that only reads in NTU.  The spec that we were  given is in 
McFarland Units, which I know is a system based upon a precipitate in water (I 
think Barium Sulfate).

Any assistance is more than welcome.

Thanks
