Laser-induced breakdown spectrometer ( (LIBS) Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a type of atomic emission spectroscopy, which uses a highly energetic laser pulse as the excitation source. The laser is focused to form a plasma, which atomizes and excites samples. Price: ~ EUR PLASMA EMMISION PULSED LASER (1064 nm) PLASMA PLUME SAMPLE
