Abstract
Spectroscopy is a three part process. The first part is to obtain a usable spectrum. The second part is to process the spectrum, apply corrections and calibrate for wavelength. The final step is perhaps the most exciting – the analysis and identification of the “fingerprints.” The tools and techniques you’ll need to carry out each aspect of the work are covered in the following chapters.
