Infra-red Spectroscopy of Brain Tissue. A Lipid Fraction in Normal and Irradiated Adult and Fetal Rats.

Infrared Spectroscopy

“…The increased use of infrared is reflected in the total of 18 steroid papers ( Bacteria are being identified and studied by spectroscopic means (202,349,494,495,544,567). Other papers study aqueous solution of biologic materials (54), stretched hair (173), hypersensitivity disease (6), chlorophyll (633), brain tissue (537), neoplastic tissue (646), ribonuclease (172), phenanthrene metabolism (637), pneumococcal polysaccharides (569), skin (98,263), wheat germ (112), and wood (321). Last, but not least, the pits of vipers are infrared receptors (82).…”

Effects of in utero irradiation upon postnatal development in the mouse

“…It has already been mentioned that neuro blasts are present throughout the period of the fetus and into the neonatal period. This accounts for the prolonged sensi tivity of the nervous system Schwarz, et al (1952). used infra-red spectroscopy to examine brain tissue after irradiation.…”
