Imaging Using NIR, IR, and Raman Spectroscopy

Shelton, CT, www.perkinehner.com). Samples can be measured in reflectance mode or transmission mode. Sohd samples such as biological tissues may need to be sliced into thin sections for transmission analysis. FTIR imaging can be performed on a wide variety of sample matrices, including polymers, pharmaceutical tablets, fibers, and coatings. 

Chemical imaging provides a nondestructive and noninvasive way to map the chemical composition of a wide variety of samples very rapidly and at the microscopic
