Infra-red Spectroscopy of Tissues in the 700–400 cm−1 Region

Abstract

As part of the study of the far-infra-red spectroscopy of biological materials, the spectra of various tissues were examined to determine if any unique absorption bands were present. Previous investigations of the infra-red spectroscopy of tissues1 did not include this region. These results represent the extension of infra-red studies on tissue into the region of 700–400 cm−1. The tissue examined included samples of bone, various rat tissues, and human cerebrospinal fluid.
