Small Infrared Spectrometer

Abstract
A small infrared spectrometer has been built for general use in the chemical laboratory. Employing a rock salt prism with a 40‐ ×50‐mm base, it records the spectra of samples linearly in transmittance or absorbance vs wavelength on flat 8‐ ×23½‐inch charts. Its single set of scanning conditions covers the range from 2 to 16 microns in 16 minutes with a resolution of 3 to 4 cm−1 at 10 microns and scattered light of less than 1% at 15 microns.
