Over the past several years many developments have taken place in the field of molecular spectroscopy. For Raman spectroscopy many of the improvements have arisen from technological innovations that include diode-based lasers, holographic notch filters and charged coupled detectors. In contrast, a majority of the developments in infrared spectroscopy have been in the area of new sampling accessories. A major emphasis has been placed on attenuated total internal reflection (ATR) accessories. The devices are allowing infrared spectroscopy to be employed in process control environments and quality control laboratories where the method is not only robust but has the advantages of limited sample preparation and/or in situ analysis.In the realm of microspectroscopy, ATR accessories have the added advantages of providing better spatial resolution, equal to or higher S/N for equivalent sample size compared to transmission measurements and most importantly the ability to collect spectra of small samples without the adverse effect of diffraction. One accessory which was developed several years ago is known as the Split-Pea.

Attenuated total internal reflection (ATR) infrared mapping microspectroscopy of soft samples is reviewed and investigated by using cartridge-based germanium hemispheres. The study demonstrates the use of these devices for obtaining line scans or maps of soft pliable surfaces over an area of approximately 100 × 100 micrometers. An experimental determination of the spatial resolution by using a cross-sectioned polymer film showed a twofold improvement over transmission infrared microspectroscopy for sample sizes at the diffraction limit. Optical details of the devices are discussed in the context of ATR measurements in addition to their application for the study of polymer laminates often encountered in industry and forensics.
