Spectrograph has stood as an important tool for the detection, determination and analysis of metallic elements, its compounds, mixtures, minerals and ores.
Forensic Laboratories make use of it to know the presence of trace elements in crime samples, thus helping to know its source, similarity or dissimilarity.
The crime samples from hit and run /accident cases, viz. paint flakes, glass fragments etc. are comparatively examined by this technique.
It is also useful in examining soils samples from murder, rape, theft to confirm the crime scene.
Presently, recent techniques such as AAS, EDXRF, ICP, NAA have overridden this.
