| Detection: |
|---|
| Single-sided material luminescence detection. Analogue-to-Digital Processing System; operation both in amplitude-time mode and in special mode - increased selectivity using kinetic features of luminescence (extra selection effect is ensured by luminescent-absorption analysis mode). |
