Starting from fundamentals and moving through a thorough discussion
of equipment, methods, and techniques, this text provides a unique
reference source for this important new analysis method. The
authors use a combination of tutorial discussions ranging from
basic principles up to more advanced descriptions along with
extensive figures and photographs to clearly explain topics
addressed in the text. It is intended that the data tables will be
located within the Education section of Spectroscopy NOW.com
Provides a thorough but understandable discussion of the basic
principles, instrumentation, methodology, and sampling procedures
of the method based on atomic emission spectroscopy.
* Presents a discussion of the many advantages of the method
along with limitations, to provide the reader a balanced overview
of capabilities of the method
* Presents an overview of some real-world applications of the
method
* Provides an up-to-date list of references to LIBS literature
and a unique list of element detection limits using a uniform
analysis method
