Because organisms present unique spectroscopic patterns, spectroscopic examination (e.g., Raman spectroscopy) of microorganisms (e.g., microbial cells) can help to differentiate between species and strains of microbes. Spectroscopic examination can...

The absorption, emission, or scattering of electromagnetic radiation by atoms or molecules is referred to as spectroscopy. A transition from a lower energy level to a higher level with transfer of electromagnetic energy to the atom or molecule is...

Geoscientists utilize a number of different spectroscopy techniques in the study of Earth materials. The absorption, emission, or scattering of electromagnetic radiation by atoms or molecules is referred to as spectroscopy. A transition from a lower...

Anyone who has ever used a prism to split a beam of light into its component colors has, to a small degree, practiced spectroscopy. Widely used in the study of radiation, spectroscopy is based upon the principle of separation of light according to its...

Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between radiation (electromagnetic radiation, or light, as well as particle radiation) and matter. Spectrometry is the measurement of these interactions and an instrument which performs such measurements is a...
