Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

The aim of this study was to produce calibration equations between near-infrared reflectance (NIR) spectra and the concentrations of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in heterogeneous material: from ...

One of the most popular techniques for material identification is single bounce ATR spectroscopy. However, in some cases, the specular reflectance sampling technique may still be necessary. Much like ...

What is UV-Vis Spectroscopy? UV-Vis spectroscopy, short for ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, is an analytical technique that measures the absorption or reflectance of light by a sample in the ...

To apply surface coatings, the workpieces must be dry and clean. Residues such as salts, oils or greases considerably affect the coating process. Even trace amounts of these surface impurities can ...

Dark materials: the goniometer portion of SHADOWS allows for analysis in 3D. (Courtesy: Sandra Potin et al/Applied Optics) An instrument that can make spectroscopic measurements of tiny amounts of ...
