The infrared beamline SISSI (Source for Imaging and Spectroscopic Studies in the Infrared) at Elettra extracts the infrared and visible components of synchrotron emission for applications of spectroscopy, microspectroscopy and imaging. The applications cover a wide range of research fields, including surface and material science, biochemistry, forensics, geology, biomedicine, microfluidics. We will overview the characteristics of the beamline and discuss recent results. A particular focus will be devoted to the new research opportunities in infrared spectroscopy at high pressures and in the THz range.
