Featured Application Note:
Corrosion Resistance of X-ray Windows DuraBeryllium^® Plus
Mallorie Coffin, Steve Liddiard, Shaun Ogden, Moxtek, Inc.
DuraBeryllium^® Plus windows are Moxtek’s most robust coated beryllium X-ray window. This window has an additional thin coating of polymer “Plus” applied to the already robust DuraBeryllium window. The Plus layer is more resistant to water and other harsh chemicals.

	Mid-Infrared Reflectivity Measurements of Diffuse Materials *Jenni L. Briggs, PIKE Technologies* The approach to infrared measurements of diffusely scattering materials often is dictated by the objective of the analysis. Spectral data from three different mid-infrared reflectance sampling accessories are contrasted.
	Ultrasensitive 3D Confocal Raman Imaging *WITec GmbH* Confocal Raman Microscopy is an excellent tool for true 3D Chemical Imaging. In this application note the technique for ultrasensitive Raman imaging is highlighted along with various examples of applications.
	Automated Circular Dichroism with Dynamic Multimode Spectroscopy: APowerful Tool for Establishing Conformational Stability of Cloned Proteins *Lindsay Cole, Lisa McIntosh and Chris van der Walle, Applied Photophysics Ltd.* The relative stabilities of the 9th-10th type III domain pair of fibronectin (FIII9-10) and two mutants thereof, all of which have immunoglobulin-like beta-sandwich domains, were investigated using dynamic multimode spectroscopy (DMS) with automated circular dichroism (ACD).

	HR-Continuum Source AAS and Direct Solid Sampling – An Effective Duo for Determination of Pb, Bi and Se in Nickel-Base Alloy *Analytik Jena* Nickel-base alloys are materials which consist of nickel for the most part and at least one further element. Due to their good corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance as well as special physical properties (e.g., electric drag) the fields of application for those materials are versatile. Among other things they are applied as catalysts in the automobile industry, in aircraft powertrains, electric home appliances, power plant generators, and waste incineration plants.
	Elemental Analysis of Regulated Products: Case Study Infant Cereal *Ian Campbell, PANalytical* Benchtop XRF is a viable method for elemental analysis on regulated products such as infant cereal. XRF requires little to no sample preparation, and is simple to operate with long-lasting calibrations.
	The Determination of Mercury in Drinking Water *David Pfeil, Teledyne Leeman Labs* This application note describes the sample handling requirements, analysis conditions, and results obtained for the determination of mercury in drinking water using the Hydra II_AA Mercury Analyzer from Teledyne Leeman Labs.
