Exposure to asbestos fibres is related a number of severe lung diseases, and therefore, rapid, accurate reliable in situ or on-site detection real-life samples considerable importance. This work presents comprehensive investigation all six types by mid-infrared ATR–FTIR, NIR spectroscopy Raman microspectroscopy. Our studies demonstrate that for practical applications, potentially the most power...

We report the use of infrared (IR) microspectroscopy for the analysis of fingerprint residues. The advantage of using an IR microscope lies in the ability to visualize and obtain spectra of individual particles and droplets that make up fingerprint ridge deposits at a spatial resolution of approximately 10 microm. Our initial results suggest that infrared microspectroscopy in reflection-absorpt...
