The post-World War II availability of commercial spectrometers spurred the development of professional spectroscopic societies: The Infrared and Raman Discussion Group in the UK, the Coblentz Society, and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy in the USA. There was a desire to ensure that customers understood the instrumentation and techniques, became part of a community, and had access to the latest subject matter knowledge. With the advent of low-cost routine instruments, and portable instruments in the field, professional societies have a distinct role to play in education and training, especially as libraries deaccession (withdraw) even comparatively recent books on practical spectroscopy.

光谱仪发展与专业光谱学会之间的相互作用

二战后商业光谱仪的出现刺激了专业光谱学会的发展：英国的红外和拉曼讨论小组、科布伦茨学会和美国的应用光谱学会。我们希望确保客户了解仪器和技术，成为社区的一部分，并能够获得最新的主题知识。随着低成本常规仪器和便携式仪器在该领域的出现，专业协会在教育和培训中发挥着独特的作用，特别是当图书馆收回（撤回）相对较新的实用光谱学书籍时。
