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 ...

A research team has developed a new way to measure and predict how plant leaves scatter and reflect light, revealing that leaf optical behavior can be accurately inferred from measurable phenotypic ...

• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...

Analyzing 1,967 samples from 349 tree species across eight forest sites in China, the study reveals that differences in evolutionary history and environmental conditions hinder model transferability.

Zilia, a Quebec-based healthcare developer working towards diagnosis of diseases through optical imaging of the eye, has demonstrated a targeted spectroscopy technique for better identification of ...

In this interview, Sue Berets, the Applications Scientist at Harrick Scientific, talks to AZoM about specular reflectance measurements and the difference between absolute and relative. Please tell us ...

DRIFTS is routinely used in quality control applications, materials characterization, and catalytic studies in industrial and research settings. However, optimal instrument setup and sample ...
