Lately, I’ve been getting into the concept of spectroscopy, and since I have awesome friends, it’s been getting real interesting. My buddy Mike just so happened to have access to a couple of Bomem DA-3 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometers, and the mad lad let me borrow one. It’s a classic case of “ran when parked,” so can we get this machine up and running enough to get the super cool laser to turn on?
