The samples were collected from the cathodes 2.5 cm away from the current collector tab, washed in pure dimethyl carbonate (DMC), and soaked in DMC for 30 minutes after removal from Li-ion cells inside an argon-filled glove box. This procedure removed electrolyte salt from the electrode to prevent its reaction with air and moisture. An integrated Raman microscope system Labram made by ISA Groupe Horiba was used to analyze and map the cathode surface structure and composition. The excitation source was an internal He-Ne (632 nm) 10 mW laser. The power of the laser beam was adjusted to 0.1 mW with neutral filters of various optical densities. The size of the laser beam at the sample was 1.2 pm. 

Various terms for characterizing light absorption can be found in the literature. The recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)3 are very helpful here. In particular, the term optical density, synonymous with absorbance, is not recommended. Also, the term molar absorption coefficient should be used instead of molar extinction coefficient. 

Emulsion Stability. The stability of the emulsions was determined by measuring optical density of the solutions following centrifugation. A 0.2% solution of each spray dried powder was prepared in water and the optical density read at 400 nm in a Coleman spectrophotometer. A 0.16% solution of carrier (gum arabic) was used as a blank. This is based on a carrier to flavor ratio of 4 1. The initial optical density of each solution was read and then the solutions were centrifuged in an lEC International Centrifuge at 500 x g for 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min. The optical density was read after each time period. 

Cautionl The following spectrophotometric analysis shovM he performed in a hood. To determine the concentration of diazomethane in the ether solution obtained in this preparation, a 5-ml. aliquot of the distilled solution is diluted to 25 ml. with ether, and a portion of this solution is placed in a cylindrical Pyrex cell with an internal diameter of 1.0 cm. The optical density of the solution is determined at 410 m/i with... 

Attenuated total internal reflection (ATR) probes offer several advantages over other probe types. ATR is a phenomenon that relies on a difference in the index of refraction of a crystal and that of the solution with which it is in contact to prevent light from escaping the crystal. Only the evanescent wave of the light interacts with the solution layer at the crystal face. The result is an optical pathlength of only a few microns. Typical designs make use of faceted crystals or hemispheres (see Figure 6.1). The most common ATR material in the UV-vis is sapphire. In rare cases, fused silica may be used. ATR allows spectra to be taken of neat samples with optical density (OD) of 500-1000... 

The Kretchmann configuration illustrated in Figure 3.8 relies on the phenomenon of total internal reflection. This process occurs when light traveling through an optically dense medium, e.g. glass, reaches an interface with a material of lower optical density, e.g. air, and is reflected back into the dense medium. Although the...

HP has developed, in partnership with International Paper, what they call Paper Enhancement Technology. This development, practically, uses a T)i-component" ink approach by introducing a "fixer" on top of the paper to react with the colorant in ink, fix it and keep it near the paper surface. This approach enables uniform optical density of the ink as well as well-defined ink dots, faster drying time and high optical densities, aU done at low paper cost. HP Paper Enhancement Technology is described in Fig. 11. 

Automated Procedure for LPSAP. The manifold illustrated in Fig. 6 is constructed where possible with glass tubing. Incubation time begins with the entry of serum into the buffer substrate stream identified as D or L, through the H-3 cactus, and ends with mixture with the stream of the 4-aminoantipyrine (usually 10 minutes with 40-foot coils immersed in the incubator). Following the entry of ferricyanide solution 30 seconds later, 3-mm internal diameter mixers produce a good rate of color development. The sample rate is 20/hour, and a 1 2 wash ratio is employed to accomplish full baseline return of the recording pen. Serum blanks are run in the same way, but substrate is omitted from the n and L streams. Optical density is read at 605 mju. 

Some of these disadvantages may be circumvented by measuring the optical density which yields quantitative values and enables the determination of the cut-off value. The intersection of the dose-response curve with the cut-off level produces the titre. This value is thus on a continuous scale. The subjectivity factor is also eliminated and the cut-off value may be calibrated for every test by the inclusion of a suitable internal standard.

Quantitation may be done crudely on the spots separated by planar chromatographic techniques such as TLC or slab gel electrophoresis (see Chapter 13). One might compare the optical density, the fluoresence, or the degree of stationary phase fluoresence suppression by the unknown spot to a series of standards of known concentration. In contrast, the electrical signals from the variety of detectors used in various column chromatography instruments can be precisely, reproducibly, and linearly related to the amount of analyte passing through the detector cell. If all parameters of injection, separation, and detection are carefully controlled from run to run, and especially if appropriate quantitative internal standards are incorporated in the procedure, accuracy and precision better than +1 % may be attained. 

Fundamentals. A plane wave of electromagnetic radiation (i.e. light) impinging upon an interface between two media of different optical density from the medium with the higher refractive index will be reflected totally (internally) pro-... 

The structure of the surface layers was investigated by IR spectroscopy of disturbed total reflection at the polyurethane film specimens based on OTMG, 2,4-TDI, and 4,4 -diamino-3,3 -dichlorodiphenyl-methane, filled with ADEG. To describe the change in the absorption band with change of filler content, optical densities were determined in accordance with the baseline method. The valence and deformation fluctuation bands of CH2 groups at 2860 and 1370 cm and of benzene rings at 1600 cm were used as an internal standard. 

If radiation passes the interface coming from a material with higher optical density (712), the refracted beam T (into the medium with lower optical density) exhibits a larger angle (a). Some part is reflected at the interface (R ) (internal reflection). In consequence, beyond a so-called critical angle (P ). radiation reflected at the interface cannot pass this interface any more (total internal reflection) (R")- This condition is used to guide radiation in light pipes, fiber optics, or to...
