What is XPS Analysis and What Is It Used For?
X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, or XPS analysis, is a highly flexible, expedient, and accurate form of surface analysis used for component identification, contaminant analysis, and quality assurance in a wide variety of industries. Here is what you need to know about XPS analysis and whether it’s right for your needs.
How Does FTIR Analysis Work?
FTIR stands for Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. FTIR Analysis measures the infrared region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, which has a longer wavelength and a lower frequency than visible light. This spectrum is measurable in a sample when submitted to infrared radiation (IR). The basic theory at work is that the bonds between different elements absorb light at different frequencies.
