Raman microspectroscopy is an ideal method for the examination of marketable gemstones because of the lack of sample preparation involved and the nondestructive nature of Raman analysis.

The authors begin a discussion of the statistical tools available to compare and correlate two or more data sets.

A handheld spectrometer is the latest weapon used in the ongoing battle between the spirits industry and costly counterfeit products.

NIR-CI adds a completely new dimension to conventional spectroscopy.

Because tautomers often cannot be isolated as single isomers, spectroscopists should always anticipate possible tatomeric forms that can complicate the interpretation of their spectra. This involves the use of spectral databases and tautomerically enabled search algorithms.
