Are you sure this isn't a philosopher's disease? --Larry Sanger 13:53, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

Very funny, Dr Sanger. --Robert W King 13:57, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
Ha!! It does sound confusing, lol. Matt Innis (Talk) 14:04, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

I see the Wikipedia covers this as a subsection of "Total internal reflection," which seems to make more sense to me. Russell Potter 14:33, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

Russel, I'm going somewhere else with this article. See http://cs.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirsense/index.html as the credited developer with this technology. I already created Light with the hopes of (eventually) covering much of the details required to understand this article. --Robert W King 14:36, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
