Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)
Elemental characterization that can complement hyperspectral and mineralogical observations.
Discuss LIBS analysisA different layer of insight.
LIBS uses a focused laser pulse to generate a small plasma from the material being analyzed. The emitted light can be measured to identify characteristic elemental signals.
Within a project, LIBS can provide complementary information alongside imaging, mineralogical, and other analytical datasets. The exact analytical scope is determined by the sample type and project objective.
Excite
A focused laser pulse interacts with the sample.
Collect
Light emitted by the resulting plasma is measured.
Interpret
Characteristic spectral signals inform elemental characterization.
How the service can be used
- Targeted elemental screening
- Spectral peak analysis
- Complementary characterization alongside HSU datasets
- Project-specific data exports and interpretation
Potential project deliverables
Final outputs depend on the agreed project scope, analytical method, and available source data.
- LIBS spectra and processed data
- Elemental indicators appropriate to project scope
- Integrated analytical products where multiple methods are used
