Von der hinteren Coverseite

The purpose of this book is to delineate practical, tested general spectroscopic methods (for ultraviolet, visible, near infrared, and infrared spectometry) in basic terms for novice users and to provide a reference resource for advanced spectroscopists. The editors have sought to make the text practical-containing important information and equations that will be referred to on a continuing basis by practicing spectroscopists.
