Aerosol analysis by micro laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy: A new protocol for particulate matter characterization in filters

Characterization of malignant tissue cells by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.

Cancer diagnosis and classification is extremely complicated and, for the most part, relies on subjective interpretation of biopsy material. Such methods are laborious and in some cases might result in different results depending on the histopathologist doing the examination. Automated, real-time diagnostic procedures would greatly facilitate cancer diagnosis and classification. Laser-induced b...

Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy: a New Tool for Process Control

Many industrial activities require adequate and timely evaluation of material composition. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has, in recent years, shown a great potential for rapid qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of various materials. In this paper, we will illustrate the usefulness of the LIBS technique for elemental analysis at different scales: from depth profilometr...

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful analytical technique that can be used for the detection and characterization of materials. In LIBS, a focused laser beam is used to generate a plasma plume on the surface of solid and liquid samples or inside the sample volume of gases, liquids, and aerosols. Each excited atom in the plasma emits a unique set of spectral lines, particula...

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Esta revisão descreve os aspectos fundamentais, a instrumentação, as aplicações e tendências futuras de uma técnica analítica que se encontra em seu estágio de consolidação e que está em vias de estabelecer o seu nicho entre as técnicas espectrofotométricas modernas. A técnica é denominada Espectroscopia de Emissão em Plasma Induzido por Laser (em inglês, Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, L...
