Opis

Contributors to this volume focus on the fundamentals of the technique of analyzing material based on the atomic weight of the species, using the power and definition of lasers to enable measurement of smaller quantities and more finely localized particles. Each chapter deals with a particular application area and should be sufficient to form an entry point for the utilization of mass spectrometry by graduate students and researchers. The book provides the first full discussion of the new techniques of laser applications in the field.

Recenzje

Overall the book is extremely well written and edited. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is currently working in the field of laser mass spectroscopy or any professor thinking of teaching a graduate level course in this area. The use of the laser is increasing in the field of analytical chemistry and this is a fantastic book to help the reader become familiar with the last advances in the field of laser mass spectroscopy.
