Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry

A bestselling classic reference, now expanded and updated to coverthe latest instrumentation, methods, and applications
The Second Edition of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometrybrings this core reference up to date on the uses of FT-IRspectrometers today. The book starts with an in-depth descriptionof the theory and current instrumentation of FT-IR spectrometry,with full chapters devoted to signal-to-noise ratio and photometricaccuracy. Many diverse types of sampling techniques and dataprocessing routines, most of which can be performed on even theless expensive instruments, are then described. Extensivelyupdated, the Second Edition:
* Discusses improvements in optical components
* Features a full chapter on FT Raman Spectrometry
* Contains new chapters that focus on different ways of measuringspectra by FT-IR spectrometry, including fourteen chapters on suchtechniques as microspectroscopy, internal and external reflection,and emission and photoacoustic spectrometry
* Includes a new chapter introducing the theory of vibrationalspectrometry
* Organizes material according to sampling techniques
Designed to help practitioners using FT-IR capitalize on theplethora of techniques for modern FT-IR spectrometry and plan theirexperimental procedures correctly, this is a practical, hands-onreference for chemists and analysts. It's also a great resource forstudents who need to understand the theory, instrumentation, andapplications of FT-IR.
