WITec to Host 15th International Conference on Raman Imaging
WITec’s 15th annual Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium will take place on September 24–26 in Ulm, Germany.
WITec’s 15th annual Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium will take place on September 24–26 in Ulm, Germany. At the event, chemical characterization and imaging members of the Raman microscopy community share recent developments, and discuss the finer points of Raman microscopy.
The symposium is a forum for scientists from academia and industry of various levels of experience and areas of application. The conference schedule includes talks, poster sessions, instrument demonstrations, and social events designed to foster the transfer of knowledge and experience between the attendees.
Sessions on nanotechnology and low-dimensional materials, geosciences, materials sciences, life sciences, and pharmaceutical analysis will provide an overview of Raman microscopy applications. Attendees will also see extensive coverage of the latest developments in Raman instrumentation and technology.
In a Monday evening lecture, German physicist and science comedian Vince Ebert will offer a humorous look at science with a talk titled “Randomly Successful–The World is Not Predictable.”

New Fluorescence Model Enhances Aflatoxin Detection in Vegetable Oils
March 12th 2025A research team from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics has developed a new analytical model using fluorescence spectroscopy and neural networks to improve the detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in vegetable oils. The model effectively restores AFB1’s intrinsic fluorescence by accounting for absorption and scattering interferences from oil matrices, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency for food safety testing.
New Study Shows FT-MIR Spectroscopy Can Authenticate Parmigiano Reggiano Farming Practices
March 11th 2025A new study published in the Journal of Dairy Science demonstrates that FT-MIR spectroscopy can effectively authenticate farming practices and dairy systems in Parmigiano Reggiano production but has limited ability to verify animal welfare parameters.
Advancing NIR and Imaging Spectroscopy in Food and Bioanalysis
March 11th 2025Our full-length interview with Huck covers more than just NIR spectroscopy in food and bio analysis. Spectroscopy sat down with Huck to also discuss current trends going on in spectroscopy, delving into what challenges spectroscopists face today and how they can solve these concerns.
The State of Forensic Science: Previewing an Upcoming AAFS Video Series
