Abstract

At the beamline D7 at the MAX III ring at the MAX IV laboratory we have a setup for infrared microspectroscopy which is usable from 30 to 10000 cm-1. In this project specular reflection infrared microspectroscopy was used for chemical imaging of cross-sectioned urinary stones. to determine their chemical composition and morphology simultaneously. Absorption spectral bands were recovered from reflection spectra by Kramers-Kronig transform. Use of far-infrared radiation provides high-contrast images and allows more precise constituent distribution determinations than mid-infrared because band asymmetry after the transform caused by diffuse reflection is less in the far-infrared.
