Live from asteroid Ryugu: analysis of extraterrestrial samples using atomic force microscopy and infrared spectroscopy
… A capsule containing more than 5 grams of surface samples was then brought back on the return journey, landing in the … microscope (AFM) with a pulsed infrared laser. His aim was to perform infrared (IR) spectroscopy on a nanometric … scale. IR spectroscopy detects molecular vibrations in order to identify chemical functions characteristic of the …
