Application Notes
Atomic Spectroscopy
Analysis of Metals in Aerosols on Air Filters
Rigaku
Measurement of metals, especially toxic heavy metals, in aerosols on air filters is demonstrated. Simple linear empirical calibration is discussed, and performance is shown for measurement precision and typical detection limits.

Molecular Spectroscopy
Failure Analysis of Packaging Materials
Thomas J. Tague Jr., PhD, Bruker Optics
Small multicomponent objects can be readily analyzed using IR microscopy. The analysis of these objects is greatly facilitated by the used of mixture analysis software.

FT-IR Sampling of Residues on Curved Metal Surfaces Outside of the Sampling Compartment
Susan Berets and Jeffrey Christenson, Harrick Scientific Products, Inc.
Specular reflection fiber optic probes such as the Omni-Spec can be used effectively to examine coatings and residues on large, curved metal surfaces, provided that care is taken in positioning the probe relative to the sampling surface.

Pesticide Detection Using SERS Techniques
Anne-Marie Dowgiallo, PhD, Ocean Optics
In this application note, we evaluate the effectiveness of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to measure trace levels of imidacloprid, one of a class of insecticides linked to honeybee loss.
