Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microscopy is a workhorse tool for a wide spectrum of applications. Obtaining high-quality data requires some skill in sample preparation, data collection, and data analysis. In this tutorial, we examine the techniques for preparing samples for transmission analysis using single windows, compression cells, and, finally, epoxy “pucks” and microtomes. The key factors for success will be emphasized.
