加拿大国家研究院的工业材料研究所新近开发成功了一种激光等离子摄话技术，适用于就地快速分析金属材料、陶瓷和矿物的成分．这种方法不需要象在试验室分析时进行的取样作业。这种分析技术包括激光器与光谱仪的匹配结合．激光照射到被测试的材料上，发射出显微等离子，随后由 The Institute for Industrial Materials Research at the National Academies of Canada has recently developed a laser plasma photography technique for rapid on-site analysis of the composition of metallic materials, ceramics and minerals. This method does not require the same sampling operations as in the laboratory analysis. This analysis technique includes a match between laser and spectrometer. The laser was irradiated on the material being tested, emitting a microscopic plasma followed by
