For novice users and advanced spectroscopists, this work delineates practical, tested general methods for ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectrometry. It emphasizes reflectance and colour measurements, and provides methods for selecting a measurement technique.

This book delineates practical, tested, general methods for ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrometry in clear language for novice users, and serves as a reference resource for advanced spectroscopists. Applied Spectroscopy includes important information and equations which will be referred to regularly. The book emphasizes reflectance and color measurements due to their common usage in todays spectroscopic laboratories, and contains methods for selectinga measurement technique as well as solar and color measurements. Written by experts in the field, this text covers spectrometry of new materials, ceramics, and textiles, and provides an appendix of practical reference data for spectrometry.

"...There is a lot of valuable information in this book, which will serve practitioners of UV-visible and near IR reflectance spectrometry well as a reference text, and researchers and students as a primer in these subjects." --Chemistry in Britain published by the Royal Society of Chemistry - Feb. 1999, p. 47.
