    This document discusses infrared spectroscopy, including: 1. Infrared spectroscopy measures molecular vibrations to extract structural information about molecules and provide molecular fingerprints for characterization and identification. 2. Infrared instrumentation includes sources like tungsten filament lamps, monochromators using prisms or gratings to separate wavelengths, and detectors like thermocouples, bolometers, and photoconductive cells that convert infrared radiation to electrical signals. 3. Samples can be prepared as gases in cells, liquids in sealed cells or sandwiched between plates, and solids as thin films, in mulls mixed with oil, or as pressed pellets mixed with KBr.
