[* black] So, what has changed? First, the dome cover membrane
[* black] In the 2018 model, the cover membrane is semi-opaque and tackier. It feels like silicone when you rub it. The new model uses a clear membrane that is crinkly and smooth to the touch.
[* black] To confirm that the materials are different, we performed a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Shoutout and thanks to whoever helped us!
[* black] FTIR spectroscopy works by shining light at a material and measuring how much light is absorbed and at what wavelengths. This data acts as a fingerprint for the material, allowing for identification
[* black] The spectrographs (is this the right word??) for the two membranes show that they ''are'' different to each other!
- [* black] By comparing the material spectrographs to known materials, we are guessing that the 2018 model uses _______ while the 2019 model uses ________

[* black] What does that mean? Insert analysis here.
