In tracing the journey of the photon from spark to spectra, we demonstrate the guiding role of each spectrometer system component along the way. The stops on our itinerary include the entrance slit through which a stream of photons flows on its way to the detector.

As the Summer Olympics kick off in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, our thoughts turn to the health and safety of competitors and fans. In this roundup of recent application notes, we investigate some of the ways spectroscopy can be used to help keep people safe and sound.

In the second of a two-part series, we demonstrate how minimizing noise and maximizing signal can result in remarkably low limits of detection in spectrometer systems. Among the topics covered are the use of signal averaging and how to account for drift in setups.
