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 Quick Time movie illustrates and describes to operation of a Czerny-Turner monochromator. The slits, mirrors, grating and grating scan are described in the production of a specific wavelength at the outlet slit. The movie is a companion to the double beam spectrometer animation.The website is available here .
This video on YouTube covers the basic principles of infrared spectroscopy. Very useful for a newcomer to IR. This video of 6.5 minute would be useful in a classroom setting or students interested in the technique.

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…
This site has a video lecture on Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) by Prof. R. Reifenberger, Purdue University Nanotech Center. The lecture (accompanied by power point slides) discusses the fundamentals followed by the technical barriers and implementations of surface analysis at atomic dimensions. The context of the material is organized more for a graduate student level, but…
A learning module that explains the instrumental systems and interactions involved in atomic emission for elemental analysis. Completion of the module will leave the learner with knowledge of optics, plasma sources, and trade-offs in choosing the right instrument for a given analytical task.

This website provides resources that can aid in the assigning NMR proton shifts, IR peaks and mass loss in mass spectrometry. The original site is in German, but most (but not all) the content is translated on the English version of the site. From the left hand menu under Spektroskopei-Tools choose Wizards. From here you can…
This site contains an article that describes the use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy to monitor real-time protein binding with fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. The introductory section provides a brief description of SPR and how it works. It next talks about the features of the Texas Instrument's SPR, known as Speetra, which is…
