Meteorites and impact glasses have been largely analysed using different techniques, but most studies have been focused on their geological–mineralogical characterization and isotopic ratios, mainly of a destructive nature. However, much more information can be gained by applying novel non-destructive analytical procedures and techniques that have been scarcely used to analyse these materials. This overview presents some new methodologies to study these materials and compares these new approaches with the commonly used ones. Techniques such as X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), for elemental characterization, the hyphenated Raman spectroscopy-SEM/EDS and the combination of them, allow extracting simultaneous information from elemental, molecular and structural data of the studied sample; furthermore, the spectroscopic image capabilities of such techniques allow a better understanding of the mineralogical distribution.

陨石和冲击玻璃已经使用不同的技术进行了广泛的分析，但是大多数研究都集中在它们的地质，矿物学特征和同位素比上，主要是破坏性的。但是，通过应用很少用于分析这些材料的新型非破坏性分析程序和技术，可以获得更多信息。本概述提供了一些研究这些材料的新方法，并将这些新方法与常用方法进行了比较。诸如X射线荧光（XRF）和激光诱导击穿光谱（LIBS）之类的技术用于元素表征，连字符拉曼光谱-SEM / EDS及其组合，可以从元素的分子，分子和结构数据中同时提取信息。研究样本 此外，
