ATR-FTIR spectroscopy of biological samples
ATR-FTIR is seen as a quick and simple technique for IR analysis. Its low depth of penetration into the sample makes the task of analysing undiluted and minimally prepared samples extremely easy: as long as there is firm contact between the ATR reflection element and the sample, good spectra can…Read article

Polymer quality analysis | Spectroscopy Solution
Polymers are extremely important in modern manufacturing. Pretty much any multi-component product will contain polymer as part of its structure. The examples extend from cars to airplanes and kitchen equipment to televisions and personal electronics such as mobile phones. Each of these examples is comprised of multiple polymers with specific…Read article

Polarized spectroscopy for combustion analysis | Spectroscopy Solutions
Combustion is a crude but effective method of releasing energy from the environment. Even in more technical applications, such as inside automobile engines, gas turbines and power plants combustion is the central process. Polarized FTIR spectroscopy can filter out background radiation when measuring paramters in applied combustion. Specac’s Wire Grid…Read article

The basics of polarization | Animated Guides
In many spectroscopic and photonics applications, it is desirable to work with light that has been polarized in a particular direction. In this article we explore what polarization is, and how it may be obtained from an unpolarized light source. Electro-magnetic radiation (light) What we generally refer to as “light”…Read article
