Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
During the past few years, infrared microspectroscopy has progressed from an exotic and difficult technique to a routine method of analysis. This is due to the merger of highly sensitive Fourier transform infrared spectrometers with precision infrared and optical microscopes. Infrared microspectroscopy is now a widely used technique in the fields of failure analysis, forensic chemistry and polymer science. Typically, an experiment would involve obtaining a single infrared spectrum of a trace contaminate or investigation of a single polymer defect.
