The top tools, tips, and techniques of the last decade —at yourcommand.
This book compiles and updates the best articles to date from theeleven-year history of Spectroscopy magazine's successful"Molecular Spectroscopy Workbench" column. From the fundamentals ofimportant techniques to novel time- and money-saving ideas, itdraws from a broad spectrum of recent developments in the field ofmolecular spectroscopy, including information on:
* Near and midrange infrared techniques
* Optical rotation/circular dichroism
* UV/Vis and fluorescence
* Mass spectrometry
* Acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs)
* Fiber optics
* Miscellaneous techniques and new hardware.
Articles have been updated where necessary to reflect advances madesince their initial publication, and are arranged into sectionsthat cover basic spectroscopic theory, applications,troubleshooting, and product/ conference reviews.
Carefully assembled by long-term Spectroscopy columnist EmilCiurczak, this accessible collection is an excellent practicalresource for analytical chemists and others who use spectroscopy intheir work.
