Description
John Wiley And Sons Optical Spectroscopy In Chemistry And Life Sciences-An Introduction by Schmidt
This book is a compact and simultaneously comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of optical spectroscopy. The author skillfully leads the reader from the basics to practical applications. The main topics covered are: -- theory of optical spectroscopy -- components of spectrometers (light sources, filters, lenses and mirror chromators, detectors, cuvettes) -- evaluation of data and interpretation of spectra Such important methods as absorption and luminescence spectroscopy, scattering and reflection spectroscopy, photoaccustic spectroscopy, spectroscopy of atoms, polarimetry and near infrared spectroscopy are covered in depth. A useful appendix with the addresses of pertinent equipment manufacturers rounds off the work.
