Abstract
The detection of small amounts of explosives in the form of small particles or their vapours is permanently an actual theme in the effort of jeopardy prevention of important persons, objects and means of transport by terrorist actions carried out by use of explosives. The recognition of very small amounts of explosives provides also certain possibilities of the detection of the ammunition inclusive of mines, using standard explosives, if however the surface of the ammunition was not especially cleaned after the assembly.
