Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic imaging is a highly versatile technique that can be applied to a wide range of systems. This article summarizes some of the recent efforts developing applications of FT-IR imaging for microfluidics. The main advantage of FT-IR imaging compared to traditional imaging methods is that it is a label-free imaging technique.

The 2012 EAS program chair presents highlights of the invited symposia in spectroscopy and related fields, from the perspective of what the chairs of the invited sessions had in mind when developing the sessions and what you can expect to learn.

In the final installment of this series, the main problem is solved using the CLS algorithm to find that the spectroscopy is sensitive to the volume fractions of the various components in a mixture.

The opportunities and current progress of operando Raman spectroscopy are presented through examples based on the authors' work.

Market Profile: Vibrational Spectroscopy and Biofuels Analysis

Kicking off this new series on light-based technologies and applications, Spectroscopy interviewed Andreas Velten about his work developing "femto photography" as a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab.
