Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

350
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...

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy

5.7K
Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy or TIRF is an advanced microscopic technique used to visualize fluorophores in samples close to a solid surface with a higher refractive index, such as a glass coverslip. TIRF only allows fluorophores in proximity to the solid surface to be excited. When light from a medium with a lower refractive index (such as air) hits the glass coverslip at a critical angle, the light undergoes total internal reflection stead of passing through the glass.

    • To investigate the potential of retro-reflection (RR) for remote camera characterization.
    • To explore RR's utility in predicting camera rotation, focusing depth, and classifying cell phone models.
    • To develop machine learning models for analyzing RR data.

    Main Methods:

    • Captured three distinct RR datasets using commercial lenses and various cell phones.
    • Trained machine learning models to interpret RR signals as input.
    • Utilized RR data to predict target camera parameters.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that RR data can be used to predict camera rotation and focusing depth.
    • Successfully classified cell phone models based on their RR signatures.
    • Validated the richness of information contained within RR signals for remote sensing.

    Conclusions:

    • Retro-reflection is a valuable, distance-independent signal for remote camera sensing.
