Peter J. Krueger, "Performance of the Beckman IR-7 Infrared Spectrophotometer 2. Frequency Reproducibility and Accuracy (200–800 cm−1)," Appl. Opt. 1, 621-625 (1962)
A Beckman IR-7 prism/grating infrared spectrophotometer, modified with a fiducial frequency marking system, has been calibrated with an estimated absolute accuracy of up to ±0.05 cm−1 in certain parts of the CsI foreprism range 200–800 cm−1. This represents an approximate tenfold improvement over the manufacturer’s specifications. The frequency reproducibility of the modified instrument and the linearity of the frequency (wave-number) presentation have been critically examined. A calibration scheme for this region is presented.

Three components 1:1:1 by weight; due to overlapping of bands some of these maxima may be concentration dependent.
This constant energy double-beam slit schedule leads to calculated slit widths of 1.0–0.65 cm−1 in the first order (200–500 cm−1) and 0.5–0.75 in the second order (450–800 cm−1).
Band duo to camphor.
Band due to cyclohexanone.
