Spectroscopy A- laboratory 1100-2INZ30
This course consists of selected experimental exercises, devoted to molecular spectroscopy techniques, employed in research laboratories Following topics allowing mastering of particular spectroscopy technique are achievable:
1. Application of FT-IR spectroscopy and H/D isotope exchange to study structural transformations in collagen
2. Quantitative analysis of xylene mixture by Raman scattering spectra
3. Analysis of fluorescence spectra of quinine
4. Analysis of simple NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectra
5.Fundamentals of Raman dispersive spectroscopy and Raman confocal microscopy - parameters affecting spectral and spatial resolution, penetration depth and Raman signal intensity.

Learning outcomes
After completing the course, a student should:
a) master the theoretical fundamentals and principle of measurement of presented techniques, be familiar with their practical applications and interpret the acquired results,
b) be able to select the appropriate technique to solve a particular scientific problem,
c) understand and critically assess the advantages and limitations of presented experimental methods.
Assessment criteria
Oral or written test checking student’s knowledge before each lab classes (theoretical fundamentals, aim of the classes, working principle and instrumentation), evaluation of student’s activity during the lab and evaluation of the written report on the experimental results.
Graded; the final grade of the laboratory workshop is the arithmetic mean of the individual exercises, approximated to 0.5.
The absence requires formal excuse and participation in the additional lab classes, the date of which is set individually with the instructor Only students who have no more than two exercises missing are allowed to particpate in the additional labs.
Practical placement
None
