Proponents of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy |
|
(NIRS) have been exceptionally successful in applying |
|
NIRS techniques to many instances of organic material |
|
analyses. While this research and development began in |
|
the 1950s, in recent years, stimulation of advancements |
|
in instrumentation is allowing NIRS to begin to find its |
|
way into the food processing systems, into food quality |
|
and safety, textiles and much more. And, imaging high |
|
spectral resolution spectrometers are now being evaluated |
|
for the rapid scanning of foodstuffs, such as the |
|
inspection of whole chicken carcasses for fecal |
|
contamination. The imaging methods are also finding their |
|
way into medical applications, such as the non-intrusive |
|
monitoring of blood oxygenation in newborns. Can these |
|
scientific insights also be taken into space and |
|
successfully used to measure the Earth's condition? Is |
|
there an analog between the organic analyses in the |
|
laboratory and clinical settings and the study of Earth's |
|
living biosphere? How are the methods comparable and how |
|
do they differ? |
