Trends & Perspectives in Molecular and Atomic Spectroscopy
How are molecular and atomic spectroscopy techniques advancing? Spectroscopy asked six panels of experts about the most important recent developments in six key techniques: IR spectroscopy, NIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, ICP-MS, LIBS, and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. We also asked experts at suppliers about how these techniques will be used to address important scientific questions in the coming decade. Here is what they had to say.
