Abstract

An arrangement for attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy uses a reflection matrix for location-resolved spectroscopy of aqueous and/or powdery samples with a high signal-to-noise ratio and without previous complex preparation of the samples. The method of using the reflection matrix produces imaging of the sample with a high signal strength.
