Abstract :
Synchrotron radiation is used in ATR-Far-IR investigations of pig ear skin. Characteristic protein and water bands are assigned. The results are compared to low-wavenumber Raman spectra. IR-imaging is performed to show the distribution of water, proteins and lipids for pig ear tissue slices.
