Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) is a sampling methodology that enables the direct examination of solid or liquid samples without further preparation. It utilizes total internal reflection to generate an evanescent wave that penetrates the sample, providing valuable molecular information. 1, record 1, English, - attenuated%20total%20reflectance

La FTIR [spectroscopie infrarouge à transformée de Fourier] peut donc être considérée davantage comme une machine qui donne une idée des composants organiques d’un échantillon, mais qui ne peut pas déterminer à lui seul la constitution exacte de celui-ci. [...] Il existe différents modes de FTIR : en transmission, en réflexion ou en réflectance totale atténuée(ATR). 2, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9flectance%20totale%20att%C3%A9nu%C3%A9e

La espectroscopía infrarrojo por transformada de Fourier (FTIR) es una técnica que se basa en detectar las vibraciones moleculares; la información se obtiene al hacer incidir radiación infrarroja, a una energía en particular, a través de una muestra y se determina la fracción absorbida de la radiación incidente. 2, record 2, Spanish, - espectroscopia%20infrarrojo%20por%20transformar%20de%20Fourier
