1 Background single-point near-infrared spectroscopy 

In addition to being significantly less intense, NIR spectral features tend to be broad and overlapped. Historically, this made band assignments more difficult than in the MIR, and slowed the adoption of NIR relative to this technique. Despite these difficulties, however, as early as 1922-9, researchers at UCLA and Johns Hopkins
