NIR VERSUS IR OPTICS
NIR
(800-2500 nm)
IR
(3 – 10 µm)
Light source
Strong
(Halogen lamp, 4000 K)
Weak
(Thermal source,  1100 K)
Detector
”Quantum” detectors
(Si, InGaAs)
Thermal detectors
(pyroelectric crystals)
Optical materials
Many – most glasses are transparent
Few – Ge, CaF2 , diamond
Light power budget
Tight – light attenuated by scattering, both in
reflection and transmission modes
Tight – sources weak and detectors half blind
General rule of spectroscopy:
Every photon is sacred, so the optimal
design is always required !!

MILKOSCREEN
India has the largest milk production in the world,
with a very decentralized structure having >100.000
collection centers.
Quality control of raw milk in India with MilkoScreen:
- Fat & protein content
- Specific adulterants (fertilizers, added water, salt)
- Similarity to ”real milk”
MilkoScreen is based on cost optimized FTIR and
manual sample handling.
