REPORT
H43A
On the cover. IR external reflection spectroscopy is useful for probing the composition and spatial arrangements of organic polymer films and monomolecular assemblies at surfaces with both high and low IR reflectivity. Marc D. Porter of Iowa State University describes recent developments in the application of IR-ERS to the characterization of chemically modified surfaces
A/C INTERFACE
1K9A
User interface design for analytical instruments. Most analytical instruments contain at least one microprocessor. William B. Barnett of The Perkin-Elmer Corporation discusses the concepts involved in good user interface design, including the special problems associated with analytical instrument software
