  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006462",
  "term": "Laser micro emission spectroscopy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An analytical technique that uses a focused laser beam to ablate a small region of a sample, generating a plasma from which atomic emission occurs. The emitted light, characteristic of the elements present, is then spectrally analyzed to determine the elemental composition of the micro-region. This method provides spatially resolved elemental analysis.",
