INFRARED SPECTROPHOTOMETRY ITS USE IN CHARACTERIZING HISTOCHEMICAL REACTION MECHANISMS

The use of infrared spectrophotometry for measuring body water spaces.

BACKGROUND The conventional method of measuring total body water by the deuterium isotope dilution method uses gas isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), which is both expensive and time-consuming. We investigated an alternative method, using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR), which uses less expensive instrumentation and requires little sample preparation. METHOD Total bod...

Paraffinoma confirmed by infrared spectrophotometry.

Infrared spectrophotometry of enteric bacteria.

Infrared spectrophotometry is rapidly assuming an important place in the biological sciences. Its value derives from the fact that each organic compound has a characteristic and distinct infrared spectrum that can be used to identify it (Randall et al., 1949). The biologist working with cells or tissues is confronted by a highly complex mixture of substances. The infrared spectrum of a cell, th...

Infrared spectrophotometry of M 17 with ISOCAM

We report spectrophotometric observations of the H ii region/neutral medium interface in M 17 obtained with the ISOCAM Circular Variable Filter (CVF) in the spectral range 5.15 to 16.5 m. The lines of singly–ionized species come mainly from the clumpy "neutral" interface, while the H ii region dominates the line emission by higher–ionization species. The emission in the Unidentified Infrared Ba...
