Lasers are preferred light sources for high resolution or time-resolved optical spectroscopy. This module introduces the workings of lasers and gives examples of common designs.The website is available here .
This site has a video lecture on Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) by Prof. Arvind Raman of Purdue University that discusses the development, instrumentation, and operational principles of various AFM imaging modes. The lecture is accompanied by power point slides with clear illustrative graphics. Basics are provided in the application examples with advantages and limitation discussed. It…
Site provides basics with illustrations of what happens during deposition and stripping of metals for analysis by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). The PDF presentation is easy to navigate and understand. It can be used as a supplement to a lecture or lab.

Measurement science used to characterize environmentally important species is a central aspect of this textbook and accompanying lecture support/PowerPoint presentations. In addition to discussing the hows and whys of measurement, the discussion of measurements up to 2007 as related to the future of the environment provides a context for learning the material.The website is available…
This site contains slides to accompany lectures in HPLC. They do not contain enough description for the average student to follow. However, they provide a lot of excellent information about practical aspects of HPLC. The sections on troubleshooting, sample preparation, gradients, system peaks, system suitability and methods validation are particularily valuable. The illustrations and diagrams…
The site contains a set of experimental and teaching modules that cover the fundamentals, history and practice of microscopy. Modules on microscopy, FRET, FRAP and Quantitative Multidimensional Microscopy will be of interest to chemists and biologists. Several include great graphics that would be helpful additions for instrumental analysis lectures.
