Recent research reveals spectroscopy’s potential impact in commercial food production facilities and in the surgical suite.

JUSTINE MURPHY, SENIOR EDITOR, [email protected]

For decades, spectroscopy has been used in the life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and even cosmetics and forensics applications. Now, researchers are finding new applications for this noninvasive technique in a broad and growing market. New technique allows pre-hatch chicken gender reveal Optical spectroscopy is proving that it just might be okay to count your chickens before they hatch. This method is providing hatcheries with a noninvasive, nondestructive way to accurately determine the sex of a chick within four days of an egg being laid. Optical spectroscopy is providing...Read full article

    fluorescence
    Fluorescence is a type of luminescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, fluorescence involves the absorption of light at one wavelength and the subsequent re-emission of light at a longer wavelength. The emitted light occurs almost instantaneously and ceases when the excitation light source is removed. Key characteristics of fluorescence include: Excitation and emission wavelengths: Fluorescent materials...
