Welcome
This guide is for the operators and supervisors who are trained to analyze samples with Vulcan series LIBS
(Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) analyzers. The local Oxford Instruments representative can train
personnel in the safe and accurate use of the Vulcan series, or give advice about how to train personnel.
The trademark of this LIBS device is Vulcan. Oxford Instruments wishes to ensure that every customer
is able to get the maximum benefit from their use of the Vulcan series.
Whilst you may be eager to use your Vulcan series, you should remember that it is a complex and
potentially hazardous piece of equipment. You must not proceed without having a basic knowledge
of how to operate the unit safely and securely.
