Product Description
Synopsis
This study describes the technique of Fourier transform infrared technology. The underlying theory is described in tandem with discussion of the instrumentation and its development to the present time. The fundamental advantages of the FT approach are described, and the physical principles are explained without recourse to rigorous mathematics. The various types of construction of the range of current commercial instruments are examined, and their advantages and disadvantages noted. In addition, there are descriptions of spectrometers built for special applications, such as space flight.

Not Gonna Do It!
14 Feb 2008
By A Reader
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The style of writing is a world apart from that found in Dr. Johnston's History of the Light and Color Measurement: Science in the Shadows. Even apart from a comparison of this earlier with his later styles, my educational and work background would allow me to nitpick and even disagree on many of his explicit and repeated points with substatiated and unsubstantiated assertions, but I will do no such thing.
.
And I won't because, although I will probably never even meet and almost certainly never befriend Dr. Johnston, I would definitely like to do both. For I now realize that friends don't ever nitpick friends, and whenever possible should only disagree in the strictest privacy.
.
Anyway, before picking up this book I had never seriously considered the reality of spectrometers and spectroscopy. Although this book is completely down-to-earth on these two topics, for me, they represent an almost-magical, near-Atlantis-type world of instrumentation and measurement.
