IMAGING BY ATTENUATED TOTAL REFLECTANCE (ATR)

摘要

The invention relates to an arrangement for attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATR infrared spectroscopy) using a reflection matrix. The reflection matrix allows the location-resolved spectroscopy of aqueous and/or powdery samples with a high signal-to-noise ratio and without previous complex preparation of the samples. The invention further relates to a method which, when combined with the reflection matrix, allows imaging of the sample with a high signal strength.
