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

BACKSCATTERED LIGHT ABSORBED LIGHT WHEN LIGHT HITS A PRODUCT IT WILL INTERACT IN VARIOUS WAYS. TRANSMITTED LIGHT WILL PASS THROUGH THE PRODUCT TRANSMITTED LIGHT BACKSCATTERED LIGHT WILL REFLECT FROM THE PRODUCT PRODUCT LIGHT WILL ALSO BE ABSORBED BY THE PRODUCT ABSORBTION IS THE KEY TO OUR NIR ANALYSIS
