Preferred Label : Spectroscopy;
NCIt definition : The technique of measuring the emission and absorption of different wavelengths (spectra)
of visible and non-visible light. This can be done via a spectroscope, which consists
of a slit, prism, collimator lens, object lens, and a grating.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: The study of the amount of light that is taken up, given off, or scattered
(reflected) by an object. Spectroscopy breaks down light and measures different wavelengths
of visible and non-visible light. In medicine, different types of spectroscopy are
being used to study tissues and to help make a diagnosis.; DICOM: Image where signals are identified and separated according to their frequencies,
e.g., to identify individual chemicals, or individual nuclei in a chemical compound.;
