Since light in the Near-Infrared region has the characteristic of penetrating into the substance, it is useful in the non-destructive analysis of certain area or an overall volume in average. In recent years, utilizing this characteristic, NIR spectroscopy has been widely used in the observation of biological samples and quality control/analysis of food and medical products. A sample holder for NIR diffuse reflection system is so designed for the extremely easy sample handling. In addition simple identification of illegal drugs, such as MDMA can be done by combining the system of search data library created by NIR diffuse reflection system.
