Registration is required. Registration EmailBing Luo, luox0026@umn.edu DescriptionThis workshop will give a detailed introduction to the operational principles, instrumental configurations and applications relevant to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and microscopy. Researchers who are interested in FT-IR structural and chemical characterization and imaging are welcome to participate. In the morning sections, the Characterization Facility (Charfac) staffing will introduce FT-IR in general. Dr. Ken Smith of ThermoFisher Scientific will talk about FT-IR microscopy in detail. University of Minnesota students and external speakers will present their FTIR-related research. In the afternoon, instrumental demonstrations will be given on the newly acquired Nicolet Continum FT-IR microscope in the Charfac, Room 22, Shepherd Labs. Agenda available on the CharFac and IPRIME websites.
