PolIRim

Daniela Täuber's scholarship project PolIRim was funded from 12/29 - 05/20 by the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. The funding enabled Daniela to continue working on Polarization-resolved IR spectroscopy and mid-IR photo-induced force microscopy (IR-PiFM / PiF-IR) for biomedical application.
