Read MoreInfrared and Raman are both categorized as vibrational spectroscopies, which broadly speaking, measure the same basic material properties. Namely, they provide a molecular fingerprint by determining the vibrational energy levels of a given material. The term fingerprint, in this case, is used to highlight the fact that for two materials to have the same vibrational…
Read MoreBackground/Applications: Chlorophyll is the essential pigment that allows plants to absorb energy from light. It absorbs light most strongly in the blue and red portions of the visible spectrum and weakest in the green portions of the spectrum, which gives it its recognizable green color. Detection of chlorophyll dates back to the early 19th century…

Anthocyanins possess antibacterial and antioxidative qualities that have the ability to improve visual and neurological health and…
Read MoreConducted by: David Ademe, Avantes Inc. Theme: Solar Simulator/Irradiance Background/Applications: Spectral irradiance is the irradiance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength, depending on whether the spectrum is taken as a function of frequency or of wavelength. The two forms have different dimensions: spectral irradiance of a frequency spectrum is measured in watts per…

Read MoreClimate change and population expansion have a direct impact on agriculture. An increasing number of people need to be fed but changing weather patterns can cause complete crops to fail. Inevitably, farms must produce more with less, and frequently under increasingly difficult conditions. Growing seasons are shorter, there are fewer resources such as clean water,…
