Section outline

    • Let's introduce the term "spectroscopy" - the one so widely used with respect to numerous characterization techniques.
    • We have already mentioned that spectroscopies can utilize photons, electrons, neutrons or other types of particles. This can be used as one of the possible classifications. Now we will also classify characterization techniques by the type of process occurring upon interaction with particle beam and by energy range of the particles in case of photons.
