Supervisor:

Department of Electrotechnology

Synopsis:

Course is focused on physical matter and instrumentation of analytical methods and their use for analysis of environmental samples. For determination of trace and ultratrace particles were used following methods: optic microscopy, electron microscopy, mass and atomic spectroscopy, neutron activation analysis, infrared spectroscopy, gamma spectroscopy, methods of corrosion investigation.
