FT-IR - Troubleshooting Spectral Results

Description: 

Specular reflectance experiments are non-destructive, easy, fast, require minimal sample preparation, and are quantifiable. This experiment is a surface technique, as this diagram suggests. The one requirement for successful collection is a flat, level surface. Inconsistencies in the surface structure will cause the energy to scatter which may make the interpretation of the data more difficult if not impossible.

Environment:

FT-IR
