    The first instrumental analysis was flame emissive spectrometry developed by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff who discovered rubidium (Rb) and caesium (Cs) in 1860. [4] Most of the major developments in analytical chemistry took place after 1900. During this period, instrumental analysis became progressively dominant in the field.
