Starting from fundamentals and moving through a thorough discussionof equipment, methods, and techniques, this text provides a uniquereference source for this important new analysis method. Theauthors use a combination of tutorial discussions ranging frombasic principles up to more advanced descriptions along withextensive figures and photographs to clearly explain topicsaddressed in the text. It is intended that the data tables will belocated within the Education section of SpectroscopyNOW.com
Provides a thorough but understandable discussion of the basicprinciples, instrumentation, methodology, and sampling proceduresof the method based on atomic emission spectroscopy.
* Presents a discussion of the many advantages of the methodalong with limitations, to provide the reader a balanced overviewof capabilities of the method
* Presents an overview of some real-world applications of themethod
* Provides an up-to-date list of references to LIBS literatureand a unique list of element detection limits using a uniformanalysis method
