While many people often use spectroscopy and spectrometry interchangeably, there are some subtle differences in their exact meanings and the associated experimental techniques they are used to ...

The human eye can only see a small part of the much broader spectrum of electromagnetic radiation (Figure 1). On the high-energy side of the visible spectrum lies the ultraviolet (UV) region, while on ...

The shape and structure of mid-IR vs NIR spectra are quite different, with mid-IR spectra containing sharper and more defined spectral absorption bands (Figure 11) for organic species, which thus lend ...

Ocean Optics reports on how spectroscopy revolutionizes research by utilizing light to analyze materials, improving accuracy ...

A South Korean research team has developed its own precision analytical instrument that can identify isomers—molecules that have the same mass but different structures. It is expected to be widely ...

Minerals on the surface of a solid celestial body, such as that of a moon, are closely related to how it formed and its environmental conditions. The detection of a particular mineral can prove, for ...

Optical microscopes or probe stations can benefit from adding spectroscopy and digital color imaging with the 508PV TM microscope spectrophotometer. The 508PV™ can also be used to upgrade older ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated a spectrometer that is orders of magnitude smaller than current technologies and can accurately measure wavelengths of light from ultraviolet to the ...
