Raman and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy are complementary methods, both probing vibrational transitions in molecules. In general, the strong bands in the (N)IR spectrum of a compound correspond to weak bands in the Raman and vice versa. This blog will look at some of the differences between Raman (light-scattering) and NIR (light absorption) methods. Here just... Continue Reading →

Winter felt brutal and eternal, as it always does for someone who doesn't ski or care for hot chocolate, I suppose. What a relief it is to see signs of Spring emerging from my brownish-colored yard and hear birds chirping outside once again. Did you know NIR is quite Spring-y as well. This blog will...
