Fifty years of plasma analysis and imaging, recollections and reflections

Spectroscopic analytical methodologies are reviewed from a personal perspective, with special emphasis on plasma analytical techniques and imaging analysis. Selected examples from the laboratory experience of the author over his career illustrate the constantly increasing sophistication ( sensitivity, specificity, spatial discrimination.) of analytical techniques over the last 4-5 decades, with an unfaltering evolution with ongoing scientific and technological progress, and, at particular occasions, unexpected and abrupt swerves in this uninterrupted development process.
