FEATURED ARTICLE
Spectroscopy in Real-World Applications: Current Trends in ICP-MS, Raman, NIR, LIBS, and XRF
Laura Oelofse
During the past year, Spectroscopy examined trends and advances in spectroscopic methods including inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), Raman spectroscopy, infrared (IR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy. Here, we present discussions of these techniques and their application in biology and disease research, industrial quality control, pharmaceutical development, and more.

FT-IR Spectroscopy for Identification of Biological Stains for Forensic Purposes
Ewelina Mistek and Igor K. Lednev
For analyzing unknown biological stains in a forensic setting, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has many advantages. It can provide confirmatory identification of the fluid type, can estimate the stain's age, discriminate species, and can be used on samples found on various substrates and exposed to various environmental conditions.

Standoff, Wide-Area Explosive and Narcotic Detection Using Shortwave Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging
Nathaniel Gomer, Shawna Tazik, Jeffrey Beckstead, Charles Gardner,and Matthew Nelson
Shortwave infrared hyperspectral imaging (SWIR HSI) shows great potential in the targeting and identification of explosive and narcotic materials in complex scenes where the target concentration is low. Tunable filter–based SWIR HSI sensors can be configured to use either single-bandpass or multiple-bandpass wavelength tuning to enable hazardous material detection in stationary, moving sensor, or moving target scenarios.

External Reflection Analysis of Surface Coatings
Michael Bradley
External reflection using IR spectroscopy is effective for examining paintings, polymer-coated metals like soda can coatings, and even bulk polymers. Shiny, metallic surfaces provide a strong specular reflection spectrum that matches standard absorbance spectra very well. Less-reflective surfaces, like dark plastics, may require additional software processing.
