What is the future for the spectroscope?

Answer:

The benefits of spectral imaging are significant and wide reaching. With the advancement of hardware technologies, image analysis methods, and computational power, I expect spectral imaging to play an important role in numerous applications above and beyond the few examples mentioned here. The power of spectral imaging to detect objects that the human eye, or ordinary RGB machine vision cameras can miss cannot be understated. Single point spectroscopic analysis still plays a vital role, but multispectral and hyperspectral imaging offers an exciting glimpse into a healthier and happier future.

Explanation:

Optical spectroscopy provides an invaluable insight into the interaction between light and matter and is used in a remarkable range of applications. Traditionally, spectrometers have been used for a discrete measurement from a small sample within a cuvette, or perhaps at a fixed location to monitor the progress of a chemical process.  However, with new camera technology and advanced image processing algorithms, there’s an influx of new spectral imaging technologies opening new applications, and in some cases displacing traditional single-point monitoring spectrometers.

During my postgraduate studies (some years ago now!), I investigated measurements of microvascular blood flow and oxygenation in skin, muscle and other tissues. These measurements were taken from single discrete locations on the surface of the skin or other tissues. Monitoring changes at these localised points provided useful information relating to blood flow dynamics during medical or pharmaceutical interventions. However, there are large heterogeneities in tissue perfusion, so the development of perfusion imaging techniques enabled better understanding of the distribution of microvascular flow and oxygenation. It’s a similar situation with spectroscopy. I’ve worked as a technical sales and applications specialist in spectroscopy for many years finding spectroscopic solutions for a variety of applications. In many situations, single point spectrometer measurements provide valuable data. However, new spectral imaging techniques are improving our understanding and bringing new insights. Hyperspectral imagers originally developed to provide spectral images from satellites and aircraft are now also being increasingly used in medical research, machine vision, food science, materials analysis and remote sensing for agriculture and minerology.

Spectral Imaging in Remote Sensing

Spectroscopy is widely used in plant science and agriculture for the general assessment of plant health or for the detection and identification of plant diseases. Many researchers use portable spectroradiometers out in the field to sample individual plant leaves in situ. In general, vegetation that is photosynthetically active absorbs red light and reflects green and near infrared light. Portable spectroradiometers measuring wide spectral ranges from 350 to 2500nm enable various spectrally derived vegetative indices to be calculated that indicate plant health or metrics such as chlorophyll or nitrogen content. However, measurements from small samples of leaves are not necessarily representative of the whole field.  

A standard colour (RGB) aerial photograph may provide an image of the whole field with areas of discoloured leaves within a field of otherwise healthy plants, but interpretation based on a simple RGB colour photo is very limited. Hyperspectral imaging, with a camera mounted on an UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle or drone) is a much more powerful technique.  It combines the benefits of seeing an image with the data-rich information provided by spectroscopy as it acquires an entire spectrum at each point (pixel) within the image. Multispectral imaging also provides an image but only contains data from a handful of spectral bands at each pixel. The choice between using hyperspectral or multispectral imaging depends on the job at hand. Images relating to general plant health based on vegetative indices can usually be generated based on a few spectral bands so can be addressed by multi-spectral imaging. However, applications relying on more subtle differences in spectral features require the more finely resolved hyperspectral data. So, for identification of tree species or distinguishing between more subtle differences between diseased and healthy crops , hyperspectral imaging is the more appropriate technique.

Caitlin told Teddy that she heard that the largest diamond was found yesterday in Africa. What would be the best source of resea
matrenka [14]
B, the Internet.

If Caitlin told Teddy that the largest diamond was found YESTERDAY then it wouldn't be in last month's science magazine. It also wouldn't be able to be in an encyclopedia at the library because there wouldn't have been any time to write, publish, and for the library to get the encyclopedia in one day. Caitlin's parents may not know about Caitlin's claim or about the diamond in the first place. The Internet would likely have an article about the news-breaking diamond as soon as possible.

Determine the amount of heat(in Joules) needed to boil 5.25 grams of ice. (Assume standard conditions - the ice exists at zero d
Yuki888 [10]
Following are important constant that used in present calculations
Heat of fusion of H2O = 334 J/g 
<span>Heat of vaporization of H2O = 2257 J/g </span>
<span>Heat capacity of H2O = 4.18 J/gK 
</span>
Now, energy required for melting of ICE = <span>  334 X 5.25 = 1753.5 J .......(1)
Energy required for raising </span><span>the temperature water from 0 oC to 100 oC =  4.18 X 5.25 X 100 = 2195.18 J .............. (2)
</span>Lastly, energy required for boiling water = <span>  2257X 5.25 = 11849.25 J ......(3)
</span><span>
Thus, total heat energy required for entire process = (1) + (2)  + (3)
                                                                        = 1753.5 + 2195.18 + 11849.25
                                                                        = </span><span>15797.93 J 
</span><span>                                                                        = 15.8 kJ
</span><span>Thus, 15797.93 J of energy is needed to boil 5.25 grams of ice.</span>

notsponge [240]
 False that  atom  is the smallest  identifiable  unit  of  a compound.

The   smallest   identifiable  unit  of   a compound  is  the    Element.  Element  is the one which  make up the  compound  and element  is made up by atoms.  Example  of element  is  oxygen  and  hydrogen  which  make  up water (H2O) which is  a compound.

Add electron dots and charges as necessary to show the reaction of calcium and oxygen to form an ionic compound.
xxMikexx [17]
The two atoms shown in the equation are CALCIUM and oxygen. 

<span>You start off with a neutral calcium atom with a shell of two electrons, a shell of 8 around that, a shell of 8 around that, and a shell containing 2...with no charge. </span>
<span>20 protons + 20 electrons. </span>

<span>You also have an oxygen atom with a shell of 2, and a shell of 6...with no charge. </span>
<span>8 protons + 8 electrons. </span>

<span>Each ionizes to form a calcium ion with 2 electrons removed (from the outer shell), leaving a +2 charge (20 protons, 18 electrons)... </span>
<span>and an oxygen ion with 2 electrons added (to the outer shell), leaving a -2 charge (8 protons, 10 electrons). </span>

<span>Their electrostatic attraction causes them to come together to form an ionic compound of CaO in a crystal lattice.</span>
