A. Garciaquiroz et al., PHOTOACOUSTIC-SPECTROSCOPY OF LAYERED SAMPLES - PHASE-DETECTION TECHNIQUE, Instrumentation science & technology, 26(2-3), 1998, pp. 227-239
Depth profiles of double layer biological samples, obtained by photoac
oustic spectroscopy, have been studied using the phase-resolved method
. The application of the method was demonstrated by insulating out the
spectra of the cuticle and the pigment layers of a lettuce leaf. Usin
g this method, we were able to monitor the phase shift between the cut
icle and the pigment layers as a function of the time elapsed after he
rbicide spraying. The temporal changes occurring in lettuce leaves und
er the action of dehydration were also investigated.
