  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000893",
  "term": "Atomic fluorescence",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The emission of electromagnetic radiation by excited atoms that have absorbed radiation of a specific wavelength. This process involves the absorption of photons, followed by the re-emission of photons, often at the same or a different wavelength. It is a phenomenon exploited in atomic fluorescence spectroscopy for elemental analysis.",
