In X-ray crystallography, X-rays of sufficient energy are used to excite the inner shell electrons in the atoms of a sample. The electrons move first to the outer orbitals and then down into the ...

James Ives, M.Psych, speaks to Jessica Geisler from Eppendorf North America about the applications of spectrophotometry in the life sciences and the demand for flexible spectrophotometers that can ...

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 ...

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 ...

What is UV-Vis spectroscopy? UV-Vis spectroscopy is an analytical technique that measures the amount of discrete wavelengths of UV or visible light that are absorbed by or transmitted through a sample ...
