Abstract

Remembering where we came from, points out author Alex Haley in <i>Roots,</i> helps us know who we are today. The roots of spectroscopy are closely intertwined with those of Bausch & Lomb-ARL, known to the industry for more than 45 years as Applied Research Laboratories. A member of Bausch & Lomb's Instrument Group, ARL today is a major multinational supplier of spectrochemical instruments in the optical emission, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), X-ray fluorescence and diffraction, microanalysis, and scanning electron microscopy fields. Its story begins with a graduate student's dream—which, unlike most dreams, came true.
