What is Fluorescence Spectroscopy (Fluorimetry)?
Fluorescence spectroscopy uses the process of fluorescence to learn about samples. Because of the nature of fluorescence, a single excitation wavelength can produce a fluorescence spectrum that can be used to identify samples. The Spectral ID application in the...What is Raman Scattering?
Raman scattering is an inelastic scattering process that can be used to probe vibrational energy levels. All molecules can vibrate in various ways, but it takes energy to do so. Vibrations have energy levels, just like electrons do. To make molecules vibrate, a...What is Reflection?
Many things can happen to light at an interface between two media, such as the interface between air and a mirror. If the light changes direction so that it stays in the same medium that it came from, it is called reflection. When light travels through the air to the...What is Scattering?
In general, scattering is what happens when light is forced to deviate from a straight path, or forced to deviate from a reflection angle described by the law of reflection. For example, in the X-ray region, atoms can scatter the X-rays in a well defined pattern. This...What is Transmittance?
Transmittance describes how much light passes through a sample unchanged. In other words, it is light that is not absorbed, scattered, or reflected. In most cases, the scattered and/or reflected light is miniscule and not significant. Transmittance is usually measured...
