Analytical Notes

Spectroscopy is the study of how light interacts with matter, allowing scientists to analyze the composition and characteristics of various substances. By measuring the light absorbed, emitted, or scattered by materials, researchers can gain insights into their chemical and physical properties.

Mass Spectroscopy (MS) is an analytical technique used to determine the molecular weight and structure of compounds by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. It is widely used in chemistry, biotechnology, and forensic science for identifying and quantifying substances with high precision.

Fluorescence microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that allows scientists to visualize and study the behavior of proteins and other molecules in live cells. By using fluorescent dyes, researchers can capture dynamic processes with high resolution and specificity, insights into cellular functions and interactions.

IR Spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to identify molecular structures based on their vibrational transitions. It helps detect functional groups in organic and inorganic compounds, making it essential in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and material science.

Phase contrast microscopy is a powerful optical technique that enhances the contrast of transparent and colorless specimens allowing for detailed observation of live cells and microorganisms. By converting phase shifts in light passing the specimen into changes in amplitude.

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a powerful imaging technique that allows researchers to visualize surfaces at the nanoscale. By scanning a sharp tip over a sample, AFM provides detailed topographical maps revealing intricate features and properties of materials.
