FTIR spectroscopy: Techniques & technologies driving innovation

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is used to probe the molecular vibrations of a sample generating a chemical fingerprint from the molecules present within the beam of light. The technique has been employed in numerous ways across multiple fields, but whatever the aim of the experiment, an accessory is required to contain the matter under study and direct the light onto it.
