Development of an Automated Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy System for Compositional Mapping of Surfaces

摘要

In this work it is described the integration of a system capable of performing automatically the compositional mapping of surfaces, by the method of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy. This system consists of a mobile mechanical base, a control system whose processing center is a development board Arduino Mega, which interacts with the user through a visual environment programmed in National Instruments LabVIEW and a piece of software for processing the spectrum obtained. Also, it describes the first experimental tests and shows preliminary results.
