The Body Unit, seen here, houses the remote sensing spectroscopy instrument called the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectrometer (LIBS), the power buffer, and a data processing unit.
The ChemCam spectrometers consist of three separate units covering 240 to 336 nanometer, 380 to 470 nanometer, and 470 to 850 nanometer spectral ranges. At more than 10 megawatts per square millimeter, the ChemCam omits the energy of 1 million light bulbs focused in a spot a little bigger than a pinhole.
