Coating Spectra: Compare Like Preparation Methods
Different preparation methods can change what an analytical technique observes. A comparison should preserve method compatibility.
Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge
Practical approach
Record the specimen form, substrate and preparation for each spectrum, and ask the analyst about valid comparisons.
A free film and a thin coating on a substrate may contribute different information to the measured signal.
Decision limits
Do not interpret every spectral difference as a formulation change without reviewing specimen preparation.
