A low cost absorption spectrophotometer for the short wave near infrared spectral region (850-1050 nm) is described. The spectrophotometer is basically composed of a conventional dichroic lamp, a long-pass filter, a sample cell and a Czerny-Turner type polychromator coupled to a 1024 pixel non-cooled photodiode array. A preliminary evaluation of the spectrophotometer showed good repeatability o...

An affordable and portable machine is required for the practical use of visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy. A portable fruit tester comprising a Vis-NIR spectrophotometer was modified for use in the transmittance mode and employed to quantify triglyceride levels in serum in combination with a chemometric analysis. Transmittance spectra collected in the 600- to 1100-nm region were ...

We succeeded to develop a reference light source in the range of very low luminance using a double integrating sphere system, and calibrated a commercial spectrophotometer below 1 × 10−5 cd/m2 levels, which is 1/100 lower than the specified limit for measurement. And we improved measurements in the ultra low luminance range of displays using the calibrated commercial spectrophotometer and a dar...

The Far InfraRed Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS) was built to measure the spectrum of diiuse emission from 1 to 100 cm ?1 , with particular attention to possible diierences between the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) and a blackbody spectrum as small as 0.1% of the peak of the CMBR spectrum. The FIRAS has diierential inputs and outputs, a full beam external calib...

Introduction: Early detection and treatment of breast cancer may be helping to save the lives of patients. Many new techniques have been urban to detect breast cancer. One of them is the use of nano-particles for accuracy and early diagnosis after photo transfer. In this study, rod gold nano particles was used according their ability to change light source transfer intensity. ...

BACKGROUND There are few in-flight studies of cognition-related cerebral oxygen status in helicopter pilots. METHODS Four male helicopter pilots volunteered for nine sorties during visual flight in a BK117 and UH-60J. The pilots' pre-frontal oxy-hemoglobin (O2Hb) and deoxy-hemoglobin (HHb) concentration were continuously monitored from the right/left sections of the forehead using near-infrar...

in this research project, the nitrito nitro isomerization of [co (nh3)5no2]f2 complex has been studied. isomerization of this complex in the solid state follows a first order kinetics. the rate of isomerization at different temperatures was determined using a fourier transform lnfrared spectrophotometer. ? and ? are calculated at 298 k. the infrared, visible and ultraviolet spectra of this comp...

We present infrared spectra covering the wavelength ranges 3.1–5.0 μm and 5.8–11.6 μm for 9 young stars located in the Chamaeleon I dark cloud. The spectra were taken with the spectrophotometer of ISO (ISOPHOT-S). The spectra of three stars which illuminate reflection nebulae are dominated by the series of strong emission features generally ascribed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Three or...
