The Planetary Spectroscopy Laboratory (PSL) provides spectral measurements from VIS to FIR for comparison with remote sensing spacecraft/telescopic measurements of extraterrestrial surfaces. Reflection, transmission and emission spectroscopy are used to acquire spectral data of target materials.
An FT-IR microscope allows microscopic analysis in transmission and reflectance in the VIS+VNIR+MIR spectral range. Three identical Bruker Vertex 80V FTIR instruments are operating (in vacuum) at …
