Reception Reservations:
Call the section answering line at (513) 622-3353 or e-mail cintacs.im@pg.com. Include your name (complete with correct spelling), phone number, affiliation, and your dinner choice. Please specify if this is your first ACS meeting when making your reservation. All reservations must be received by noon, Monday, March 5. If you have any difficulties, please call Ms. Debbie Lewis at (513) 622-3353. As a reminder, if you decide you must miss the meeting after you have made your reservations, please call to cancel. If you do not cancel, the Section will have to charge you because it will have been charged by Miami University. Payment will be received at the door. Guests are always welcome; emeritus, unemployed, new, teacher affiliate members, and student members are half price.
Directions to the Shriver Center: The Shriver Center is located on the Miami University campus in Oxford. From Cincinnati, travel north on US 27. Oxford is approximately 20 miles north of the I-275 exit. The second traffic light in Oxford is the corner of US-27 (Patterson Avenue) and Spring Street. The Shriver center is on the southwest corner. Parking is available behind the Center.

"Chemical Imaging Using Infrared Cameras"
Abstract
The research and development of infrared array detector technology has received substantial funding from the military over the past two decades. Until recently, much of this technology (originally developed for imaging heat emitted over relatively broad wavelength ranges) was classified. We have used a variety of infrared cameras to obtain chemical images in the spectral range between 10,000 and 900 cm-1 (1-11 mm). Data can be displayed as either a series of spectroscopic images collected at individual wavelengths, or as a collection of IR spectra obtained at each pixel position in the image. Image contrast is achieved due to the intrinsic chemical nature of the sample at each pixel location in the image. Examples are presented which illustrate how the technique can be used to image water in a variety of systems, identify layers in a polymer film laminate, to aid in understanding the spatial dependence of the biomineralization process occurring in bone tissue, and to examine H&E-stained breast tissue biopsies.
About the Speaker
Curtis Marcott received
his B. A. degree from Concordia College (Moorhead, MN) in 1974 and his
Ph.D in Physical Chemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1979.
Since 1979 he has been employed as an infrared spectroscopist in the Corporate
Research Division of Procter & Gamble's Miami Valley Laboratories in
Cincinnati, Ohio, where he is presently a Research Fellow.
He is currently a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Applied Spectroscopy,
and is a past member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Vibrational Spectroscopy,
the A-page Advisory Panel of Analytical Chemistry, and the Board of Managers
of the Coblentz Society. Dr. Marcott received the 1993 Williams-Wright
Award from the Coblentz Society for achievement in industrial vibrational
spectroscopy and is an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at Miami University
in Oxford, OH. His current research interests include infrared spectroscopy
of adsorbed species, time-resolved infrared linear dichroism spectroscopy
of polymers under small-amplitude strain, vibrational circular dichroism,
applications of IR spectroscopy in phase science, GC-IR (including matrix
isolation), photoacoustic spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, spectroscopic
imaging, and chemometrics.
