A Nanosecond Tunable Laser to Be Installed in the Advanced FT-IR Lab
A state-of-the-art nanosecond laser will be installed on Monday February 9 at the NSF Advanced FT-IR facility located at 220H HBRC. This laser will be used in time-resolved rapid-scan FTIR, time-resolved step-scan FT-IR, cryogenic FTIR, and photolysis of caged ligand in proteins. This nanosecond pulsed laser (Nd:YAG) is tunable over a broad range of wavelength (410-700nm) and offer laser pulses in the UV (266 nm and 355 nm).
We cordially invite you to visit the new laser and to learn what the laser can do for research at 4:30 pm Monday Feb 9 (220H HBRC).

OSU Advanced FT-IR User Facility: Open New Opportunities for Multi-disciplinary Research & Education
Dr. Aihua Xie, Facility Director, gave an OSU Microbiology/Biochemistry joint seminar on Advanced FT-IR User Facility.
10 September 2014
Dr. Aihua Xie designed and offers a new special course, Infrared Biophysics I, to train and engage students in using advanced FT-IR system for research. This course brings students to the forefront of FT-IR research, from literature studies to research design, FTIR experiments and manuscript preparation for peer-reviewed publication. Students are enthusiastic about this course. One travels 82 miles each week to audit this course. Some declared that they want to use advanced FT-IR for their PhD studies.
