Therefore articles in Spectroscopy Europe need to be written so as to interest scientists outside the particular spectroscopic technique area of the article.

Spectroscopy Europe is sent to 21,000 scientists using spectroscopy across Europe, and so your article will be widely read!

Finally, we welcome colour illustrations and photographs, which is probably not the case with other articles you may write!
