Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: This image from testing of ChemCam shows a ball of luminous plasma erupting from the surface of an iron pyrite crystal in the sample chamber approximately 10 feet from the instrument. The laser beam itself is invisible.
The ChemCam instrument, built for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission, uses a pulsed laser beam to vaporize a pinhead-size target, producing a flash of light from the ionized material -- plasma -- that can be analyzed to identify chemical elements in the target.
Polski: Zdjęcie z operacji testowania urządzenia ChemCam ukazuje kulę świecącej plazmy eksplodującej z powierzchni kryształu żelaznego pirytu w komorze testowania próbek, około 30 centymetrów od urządzenia. Promień lasera, sam w sobie, jest niewidoczny.
Urządzenie ChemCam budowane dla misji Mars Science Laboratory należące do NASA, używa wiązki promieni impulsowego lasera, do odparowania obiektu wielkości szpilki od igły, generując błysk światła z zjonizowanego materiału -- plazma -- który może być analizowany pod kątem skład chemicznego badanego materiału. |
