  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000894",
  "term": "Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A spectroanalytical technique that measures the intensity of fluorescent radiation emitted by atoms after they have been excited by incident electromagnetic radiation. A sample is atomized, and a light source excites the atoms, which then re-emit light. This method offers high sensitivity for trace elemental analysis, often in the parts per trillion range.",
