Horiba scientists wrote this tutorial to help people learn about Raman spectroscopy. The authors write clearly and provide great illustrations to accompany the text. The tutorial addresses the theory of Stokes & anti-Stokes Raman scattering, SERS and other techniques. In addition, the tutorial introduces the instruments needed for Raman experiments - like lasers, optics, and microscopes.…
Designed as a faculty resource on separation science, with a particular emphasis on chromatographic separations. The published materials focus on active learning but may be modified to fit any curricular pedagogy. Materials include a text, sample problems, and an instructor's manual.

Basic concepts of signals, noise, and extraction of data from noisy signals are presented as an e-learning module. Excel spreadsheets allow students to vary noise parameters. Basic electronics ideas relating to RC circuits support introductory information on filtersThe website is available here .
This site provides an introduction to principal component analysis, beginning with a glossary of important terms before taking the reader through the process of completing a principal component analysis. One limitation to the site is its reliance on Minitab and SPSS for calculations. Users without access to these programs can reproduce the calculations using other software…
This site provides a tutorial on electromagnetic waves using animated graphics. The tutorial gives the student the ability to visualize circularly polarized waves, the superposition of various types of polarized waves, and the change that results when the EM waves interact with matter.The website is available here .
