Revealing the Mechanisms of Diffuse Reflectance IR
Diffuse reflectance is a well-known sampling technique in mid-infrared and near-IR spectroscopy. Despite its significance, however, the underlying mechanism of the technique is not well understood—particularly in mid-IR diffuse reflectance. Eric B. Brauns, an Associate Professor at the University of Idaho, has developed an instrument capable of studying the mechanism, using time-resolved measurements. Brauns won the 2015 Applied Spectroscopy William F. Meggers Award for this work. He recently spoke with Spectroscopy about his award-winning paper and what it means for the field.

A sponsored Dedicated Dialogue: Petrochemical Analysis by ICP-OES
Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) is used in the petrochemical industry for the analysis of trace elements in the extraction, refining process as well as in finished products and in-service chemicals such as lubrication fluids. To learn more about how ICP-OES is used in in the petrochemical industry, the challenges and how to overcome them, Spectroscopy talked with Matthew Cassap, ICP-OES Product Manager at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
