Bücher der Reihe Practical Spectroscopy

Covers important aspects of X-ray spectrometry, from basic principles to the selection of instrument parameters and sample preparation. This title explicates the use of combined X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction data, and features fresh applications in environmental studies, forensic science, minerals and ore, and ceramic materials.

This book is intended to serve as an up-to-date reference source for those familiar with chromatography/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) methods and as an introduction to techniques and applications for those interested in future uses for chromatography/FT-IR.

Offers coverage of internal reflection spectroscopy (IRS) and its applications to polymer, semiconductor, biological, electrochemical and membrane research. This work describes the theory and procedures and identifies the spectral regions, from materials characterization to process monitoring.

Summarizes breakthroughs in the theory and instrumentation of electro spray mass spectrometry in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. This book includes topics such as chemical and electrophoretic techniques for rapid sample preconcentration and separation, and screening processes for proteins from libraries of compounds.
