Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a spectroscopic technique that evaluates the vibrational energy levels of the chemical bonds of molecules within a wavelength range of 750-2,500 nm. This simple method acquires spectra that provide qualitative and quantitative data on the chemical components of t...
