[gmx-users] Dimethyl Sulfoxide Electromagnetic Absorbance

[Nancy]

Thanks for your response.  What I was referring to was the absorption of
near infrared light by DMSO, such when laser or LED light at that
wavelength passes through pure DMSO.  Do you have any info on DMSO's
absorbance at that frequency?  It would be of great help!
