My specialties are non-destructive analysis of agricultural products and food using near-Infrared (NIR) and Chemiluminescence spectroscopy. Grains (rice, wheat, soybean), vegetables (green soybean) and fruits (pear) are our major concern. Left picture is a dedicated spectrometer for green soybean with pod. Right one is a chemiluminescence spectrometer.
