Introduction to Signals and Noise in an Instrumental Methods Course.
Stolzberg, Richard J.
Journal of Chemical Education, v60 n2 p171-72 Feb 1983
Some inherent instrument capabilities/limitations can be described in terms of signal to noise ratio (S/N). Two three-hour experiments are described to give students appreciation of the importance of signal strength and noise level in instrument performance and how S/N can be increased by choice of conditions and data manipulation.
