ABSTRACT

Recent decades have witnessed a sharply growing demand for information. This also pertains to information obtainable from the analytical examination of samples of material objects.

The desire to satisfy the need for analytical data stimulates actions toward

Developing new analytical methodologies• Designing and implementing new technical solutions for the measuring instruments used • in analytical practice

Analytical methodologies and measuring instruments are the tools for obtaining reliable data on the composition of the material objects being studied. The science of the construction and operating rules of measuring instruments is often referred to as instrumentation. The successive stages in the development of this science are easily discernible.
