  1. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy 298klg-34

  2. Light transmission through a material Functional chemical groups absorb energy at specific wavelengths. Less light is transmitted at those wavelengths. Recall from physics: Where is the wavenumber. The transmission spectrum is a “fingerprint” of the substance. 298klg-34

  3. Spectrophotometer The monochromator disperses the light by wavelength. The aperture is used to select one wavelength at a time. Even if the light source is intense, most is blocked by the aperture. The result is a time-consuming process with low signal strength 298klg-34

  4. Michelson interferometer This creates a pulse of light that is transmitted through the sample. 298klg-34

  5. Interference patterns One wavelength Twenty discrete wavelengths 298klg-34

  6. Path length difference Proportional to time because mirror velocity is known Interference pattern From a white light (or broad wavelength) source 298klg-34

  7. The output spectrum This spectrum is the product of the absorption spectrum the sample and the spectrum of the incident light. 298klg-34

  9. At each pixel, a spectrum is measured Analysis of each spectrum gives the types of molecules present in that pixel (and relative amounts) and thus the tissue type.
