Basic Theory… Navigating The Instrumental Polarization Artifact: Two Samples That Polarize Light 17 Feb 2020 Abstract: Polarization measurements and polarization spectra are important applications for the materials characterization application area. Understanding the native polarization of a spectrophotometer’s light beam and how polarizing samples can interact…
Basic Theory… Spectrophotometer Energy, Instrument Polarization Artifact 14 Feb 202017 Feb 2020 Abstract: A UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer is a powerful tool for investigating absorbance, transmittance and reflectance characteristics of materials. Although we are accustomed to seeing extremely flat baselines in these spectrophotometers, thanks…
Basic Theory Light: The Essence of Spectroscopy 29 Sep 201921 Feb 2020 Although light is generally said to be a wave, unlike the waves that occur at the surface of a body of water, it does not require a medium. As shown…
