Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spectroscopy finds extensive use as analytical tool utilized for different applications. In the last few years, there have been significant advances in the development of innovative miniaturized spectroscopic systems. Detectors, light sources, and optical waveguides are fundamental parts. Now, it is also possible to find different commercial solutions for miniature spectrometer systems. Anyway, in order to be extensively used in biology and chemistry, significant improvements must be done. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect up-to-date scientific results for chemical and biological applications specifically using miniaturized spectrometer systems. The applications include laboratory applications, environmental sensing, on-site industrial analyses, botany and ecology applications, and finally clinical and biochemical studies.
Dr. Denis Garoli

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
