Forensic Applications of LIBS

Chapter
First Online:
Part of the Springer Series in Optical Sciences book series (SSOS, volume 182)

Abstract

Forensic science is broadly defined as the application of science to matters of the law. Practitioners typically use multidisciplinary scientific techniques for the analysis of physical evidence in an attempt to establish or exclude an association between a suspect and the scene of a crime.

Keywords

Inductively Couple Plasma Mass Spectrometry Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis Partial Little Square Discriminant Analysis Crime Scene Physical Evidence 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
