A state-of-the-art nanosecond laser will be installed on Monday February 9 at the NSF Advanced FT-IR facility located at 220H HBRC. This laser will be used in time-resolved rapid-scan FTIR, time-resolved step-scan FT-IR, cryogenic FTIR, and photolysis of caged ligand in proteins. This nanosecond pulsed laser (Nd:YAG) is tunable over a broad range of wavelength (410-700nm) and offer laser pulses in the UV (266 nm and 355 nm).

Dr. Aihua Xie, Facility Director, gave an OSU Microbiology/Biochemistry joint seminar on Advanced FT-IR User Facility.

Dr. Aihua Xie designed and offers a new special course, Infrared Biophysics I, to train and engage students in using advanced FT-IR system for research. This course brings students to the forefront of FT-IR research, from literature studies to research design, FTIR experiments and manuscript preparation for peer-reviewed publication. Students are enthusiastic about this course. One travels 82 miles each week to audit this course. Some declared that they want to use advanced FT-IR for their PhD studies.
