The use of polarized Raman microscopy to complement the polarized light micrographs of spherulites in polymers reveals much about the orientation behavior of the lamellae in spherulites.

Are the integrated Analytical Instrument Qualification (AIQ) and Computerized System Validation (CSV) new approaches to the qualification and validation of laboratory systems, or are they more of the same?

The author dispels the notion that inorganics do not have mid-infrared spectra by providing an overview of the general characteristics of their infrared spectra.

The use of high-resolution LIBS imaging requires the reduction of acquisition time. The authors describe a new developed system that accomplishes this goal and can be used in various applications where elemental composition and elemental distribution analysis is required.

DNA effectively removes chrysene from contaminated water through intercalation, as confirmed by various analytical methods, offering a potential novel approach for chrysene elimination in water pollution.
