Application of Spectroscopy to Toxicology and Clinical Chemistry

摘要: The modern science of spectroscopy marked its beginning before the eighteenth century. By 1700, L’Abbe Marie(1) had presented first ideas about photometry. Then in 1732, Geoffrey, and later Melville Marygraf(2) 1752 1758, respectively, described colors imparted to flames by metallic salts. About 100 years later, an American physician, David Alter,(3) attempted use flame as a source for qualitative spectrochemical analysis. Subsequently, Bunsen Kirchhoff(3) Germany similar findings.
