NIR Theory

The basics of our technology

Discovery of Infrared in 1800

• Sir Frederick William Herschell (1738-1822)

• Herschel directed sunlight through a glass prism to create a spectrum - the "rainbow" created when light is divided into its colours - and measured the temperature of each colour using a thermometer

PRODUCT

WHEN LIGHT HITS A PRODUCT IT WILL INTERACT IN VARIOUS WAYS. TRANSMITTED LIGHT WILL PASS THROUGH THE PRODUCT

BACKSCATTERED LIGHT WILL REFLECT FROM THE PRODUCT

LIGHT WILL ALSO BE ABSORBED BY THE PRODUCT

ABSORBTION IS THE KEY TO OUR NIR ANALYSIS
