Standard Transmission Mössbauer Spectroscopy (TMS) records the absorption of gamma rays in the beam transmitted through the absorber. If the absorber is too thick or on an opaque substrate so that the beam cannot pass through or the signal is too small, then a reflective technique must be used, such as Conversion Electron Mössbauer Spectroscopy (CEMS).
