Differential Scanning Calorimetry provides thermal characterization of solids and liquids, including melting/crystallization behavior, decomposition behavior, purity determination, and specific heat.

If you need to measure the temperature of something, chances are good that you could think up half a dozen ways to do it, pretty much all of which would involve some kind of thermometer, thermistor, ...

In DSC, the heat flow determined is directly proportional to the specific heat capacity. Hence C p is calculated directly from the DSC signal (Φ meas). In order to do this, the DSC curve is corrected ...
