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 ...

Analyzing microplastics (MPs) in real environmental matrices requires the unambiguous identification of particles to distinguish them from particles of biogenic origin, such as particulate organic ...

Microplastics are increasingly present in the air, soil and water, prompting widespread environmental concern. But how can these tiny particles – ranging from 5 millimeters to 1 micron in size – be ...

Infrared spectroscopy, which measures light absorption, provides valuable insights into the structure and conformation of biomolecules. When combined with other analytical techniques, Fourier ...

In this interview, Rainer Hillenbrand, Nanooptics Group leader at CIC nanoGUNE and co-founder of neaspec, talks to AZoNano about the incredible possibilities of nano-FTIR, which neaspec implements in ...
