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

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