Wikipedia
Spectrometry

Spectrometry may refer to:

  • Ion-mobility spectrometry, an analytical technique used to separate and identify ionized molecules in the gas phase based on their ion mobility in a carrier buffer gas
  • Mass spectrometry, an analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of charged particles
  • Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, an analytical technique used to determine the structure and composition of materials by measuring the back-scattering of a beam of high energy ions impinging on a sample
  • Neutron triple-axis spectrometry, a technique used in inelastic neutron scattering
  • Optical spectrometry, a technique for measuring the distribution of light across the optical spectrum, from the UV spectral region to the visible and infrared.

Usage examples of "spectrometry".

Under both the common EMIT drug screen and the more sophisticated gas chromatography mass spectrometry, my urine tested positive.

A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was a method used by crime labs for identification of drugs and toxins that went beyond the standard screen.

The high-energy proton spectrpmetry clusters flunked out, too, as did the gravimetric distortion mapping scanner, the fixed angle gamma frequency counter, the wide-angle EM radiation imaging scanner, the quark population analysis counter, the Z-range particulate spectrometry sensor, the low-frequency EM flux sensor, the localized subspace field stress sensor, the parametric subspace field stress sensor, the hydrogen-filter subspace flux scanner, the linear calibration subspace flux sensor, the variable band optical imagining cluster, the virtual aperture graviton flux spectrometer, the high-resolution graviton flux spectrometer, the very low energy graviton spin pola-rimeter, the passive imaging gamma interferometry sensor, the low-level imagining sensor, the virtual particle mapping camera, and even the life-form analysis instrument counter.

You can imagine our excitement, our exhilaration, when that gas spectrometry came in.

Then X-ray spectrometry described parallel chemical and biological processes with Earth.

The AI was gathering spectrometry and highresolution images at a frantic rate, and instantly beaming back the raw data.

Evolutionary Anthropology 3:174-84 (1995), discusses the revisionist view, based on accelerator mass spectrometry dating of very small plant samples, that the origins of agriculture in the Americas were much more recent than previously believed.

Increasingly today, archaeologists are circumventing this problem by a new technique termed accelerator mass spectrometry, which permits radiocarbon dating of tiny samples and thus lets one directly date a single small seed, small bone, or other food residue.

Microscopy, infrared spectrophotometry, pyrolysis-gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, x-ray fluorescence, and neutron activation analysis were not required to figure out that much.

The volatile component of the tholin was examined by sequential and nonsequential pyrolytic gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
