Spectroscopy of atmospheres
A great visual walkthrough of how spectroscopy is used to find out what the atmospheres of other planets are made of. This spectroscopy is the same process that's used to test the quality of beer.
Mars Curiosity Rover: ChemCam laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy unveiled
Curiosity rovers uses a laser to blast a rock and look at the light given off to analyse what the rock is made of, a technique called spectroscopy.
Ellipsometry and reflectance difference spectroscopy
Basic outline of the two techniques with links to instruments.
An Introduction to AES
Auger Electron Spectroscopy is a popular technique for determining the composition of the top few layers of a surface.
How to measure the atmosphere of another planet
Read how spectroscopy is used to determine what makes up the atmosphere of planets
