Molecular Spectroscopy Workbench: Advances, Applications, and Practical Advice on Modern Spectroscop

This book compiles and updates the best articles to date from theeleven-year history of Spectroscopy magazine's successful"Molecular Spectroscopy Workbench" column. From the fundamentals ofimportant techniques to novel time- and money-saving ideas, itdraws from a broad spectrum of recent developments in the field ofmolecular spectroscopy, including information on:
* Near and midrange infrared techniques
* Optical rotation/circular dichroism
* UV/Vis and fluorescence
* Mass spectrometry
* Acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs)
* Fiber optics
* Miscellaneous techniques and new hardware.

Articles have been updated where necessary to reflect advances madesince their initial publication, and are arranged into sectionsthat cover basic spectroscopic theory, applications, troubleshooting, and product/ conference reviews.

Carefully assembled by long-term Spectroscopy columnist EmilCiurczak, this accessible collection is an excellent practicalresource for analytical chemists and others who use spectroscopy intheir work.
