Spectroscopy Spotlight
In recent years, researchers have been making important developments to advance the effectiveness of spectroscopic techniques for biomedical uses ranging from the identification of infectious agents to measuring the edges of cancerous tumors. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is among the techniques that can have useful medical applications. David R. Chettle, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, uses XRF for the in vivo measurement of toxic elements in human subjects, with the goal of developing devices that can be used to investigate the possible health effects of toxin exposure. He recently spoke to us about his research. read more

PIKE Technologies' new External Integrating Sphere utilizes the external beam of the spectrometer to produce precise reflectivity measurements. Its design accommodates extra-large and small samples. Internal optics focus the IR beam into a 4-inch diffuse gold-plated integrating sphere. The accessory is used for studying reflectance properties of solids, analyzing light scattering of highly absorbing samples and collecting spectra difficult to obtain with standard sampling techniques.
