Course detail
Modern Spectroscopic Methods
FCH-MCO_MSMAcad. year: 2019/2020
The cours gives a complete overview about spectroscopic methods using electromagnetic radiation. The construction of spectrometers, light sources, detectors and accessories will be given, too. Finally, the overview of methods actually used in chemistry will be given including the methods that will be introduced into the chemistry in near future.
