Overview of plasma diagnostic methods. Optical methods (emission and absorption spectroscopy). Technique of microwave measurements (microwave cavity method, microwave interferometer). Probe methods (Langmuir probe and their modifications, heated probe, emissive probe, rf probe, plasma oscillation probe). Corpuscular diagnostic (mass spectrometry, detection of charged particles, ion sources). For postgraduate study only. Available in even years.

The necessary condition of the successful termination of the subject is the successful pass through the examination, i.e. the marking of the examination by the "prospěl" mark. The examination must be performed within the time period prescribed by the time schedule (harmonogram) of the academic year that corresponds to the date of the subject registration.
