Abstract
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, using the diamond cell technique, has been shown to be a useful tool for the analysis of small samples. The diamond cell can be used both in an infrared microscope and in a microbeam compartment. In our laboratory both techniques have been applied to forensic and industrial analysis and some examples are reported. Sample preparation normally consists of physical separation with the help of tungsten needles, microtoming techniques after embedding the samples in paraffin blocks, or the use of solvents to extract some compounds before evaporation on different kinds of plate. The diamond cell technique seems to provide good results for all samples analysed.
