Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview01:13

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

1.5K
Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to study the composition of materials. It is widely employed in chemistry, materials science, forensic science, and other fields where sample characterization is required. ATR has several advantages over traditional transmission IR spectroscopy, including the requirement of little to no sample preparation and the ability to analyze a wide range of samples.
The ATR process begins by directing a beam...

UV–Vis Spectrometers

4.0K
The absorbance of UV and visible (UV–visible) radiations is measured using a UV–visible spectrophotometer. Deuterium lamps, which emit UV radiation, and tungsten lamps, which produce radiation in the visible region, are used as light sources in UV–visible spectrophotometers. A monochromator or prism is used for diffraction grating, i.e., to split the incoming radiation into different wavelengths. A system of slits is used to focus the desired wavelength on the sample cell.

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference01:25

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference

2.3K
Interference leads to systematic error in atomic absorption (AA) measurements by enhancing or diminishing the analytical signal or the background. These interferences can be grouped into three main categories: spectral interference, chemical interference, and physical interference.
Spectral interference occurs when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, falsely elevating or masking the analyte's absorbance. This interference can be corrected using Zeeman,...

IR Spectrometers

3.1K
There are two main infrared (IR) spectrophotometers: dispersive IR spectrometers and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers. In a dispersive IR spectrometer, a beam of infrared radiation produced by a hot wire is divided into two parallel equal-intensity beams using mirrors. One beam passes through the sample, while another is a reference beam. The beams then move through the monochromator, which separates the radiations into a continuous spectrum of different frequencies. The...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Modeling

Background:

  • Accurate optical property measurement is vital for non-invasive tissue diagnostics.
  • Existing methods face challenges in layered tissue characterization.
  • Developing robust inverse models is essential for advancing optical techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a two-layer Monte Carlo lookup table-based inverse model.
  • To assess the model's accuracy in extracting optical properties from two-layered phantoms.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a two-layer Monte Carlo lookup table-based inverse model.
  • Collected reflectance data from two-layered phantoms at specific source-detector separations (370 μm and 740 μm).
  • Extracted top layer thickness, reduced scattering coefficient, and absorption coefficients for both layers.

Main Results:

  • The model accurately extracts top layer thickness (0-550 μm) with an average error of 10%.
  • Reduced scattering coefficient measurements showed an average error of 15%.
  • Absorption coefficient accuracy depended on top layer thickness, with errors ranging from 12-25% within appropriate ranges.

Conclusions:

  • The validated inverse model demonstrates high accuracy for determining optical properties in two-layered scattering media.
