The UV-vis-NIR Spectrophotometer technique measures absorption, transmittance or reflectance of UV, visible and near-infrared light in a variety of liquid and solid samples.

This course will cover both the theory behind the technique as well as its practical applications.

Dr Myles Worsley is a materials scientist working within the Experimental Techniques Centre (ETC). In this role he uses his expertise as a chemist to assist in the characterisation of materials across a variety of academic and industrial research projects, from running samples to providing training for researchers to operate instrumentation themselves. He has extensive experience in a wide range of techniques, in particular optical spectroscopy (UV-vis, FTIR, Raman and fluorescence), scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and gas adsorption at solid surfaces (using an Autosorb).
