| Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing) |
| Learning outcomes |
|
The aim of the subject is to build a general image of novel methods of inorganic elemental analysis. The lectures give general review of all important methods of atomic optical spectroscopy, X-Ray spectroscopy and inorganic mass spectrometry.
After graduation of the subject, students will have systematic knowledge on inorganic elemental spectroscopy. |
| Prerequisites |
