With Gustav Kirchhoff he pioneered the use of spectroscopic analysis, allowing them to discover cesium and rubidium.
Among the inventions named for this scientist are a grease-spot photometer for measuring brightness and a carbon-zinc electric cell. He explained the workings of geysers, and discovered that ferric oxide could be used as an antidote to arsenic poisoning after an explosion involving arsenic compounds nearly killed him and left him blind in one eye. With Gustav Kirchhoff he pioneered the use of spectroscopic analysis, allowing them to discover cesium and rubidium.
