Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

An established tool for the authentication and conservation of fine art paintings, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) typically requires the removal of small sample sections for analysis.

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are collaborating with researchers at UT San Antonio to study how space ...

To help improve the accuracy of climate models, an international team involving the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has measured the reflectance of rough, snow-covered surfaces at large solar ...

A research team led by SUTD has created nanoscale glass structures with near-perfect reflectance, overturning long-held assumptions about what low-index materials can do in photonics. For decades, ...

One of the most popular techniques for material identification is single bounce ATR spectroscopy. However, in some cases, the specular reflectance sampling technique may still be necessary. Much like ...

An image printed on reflectance paper responds to the direction from which it is illuminated. The reflectance paper is covered with dimples that reflect light from different directions. See video ...
