A bestselling classic reference, now expanded and updated to cover
the latest instrumentation, methods, and applications

The Second Edition of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry
brings this core reference up to date on the uses of FT-IR
spectrometers today. The book starts with an in-depth description
of the theory and current instrumentation of FT-IR spectrometry,
with full chapters devoted to signal-to-noise ratio and photometric
accuracy. Many diverse types of sampling techniques and data
processing routines, most of which can be performed on even the
less expensive instruments, are then described. Extensively
updated, the Second Edition:

* Discusses improvements in optical components

* Features a full chapter on FT Raman Spectrometry

* Contains new chapters that focus on different ways of measuring
spectra by FT-IR spectrometry, including fourteen chapters on such
techniques as microspectroscopy, internal and external reflection,
and emission and photoacoustic spectrometry

* Includes a new chapter introducing the theory of vibrational
spectrometry

* Organizes material according to sampling techniques

Designed to help practitioners using FT-IR capitalize on the
plethora of techniques for modern FT-IR spectrometry and plan their
experimental procedures correctly, this is a practical, hands-on
reference for chemists and analysts. It's also a great resource for
students who need to understand the theory, instrumentation, and
applications of FT-IR.
