Indium is a soft, rare metal first discovered by Reich and Richter in 1863 by means of spectroscopic analysis in the zinc-blende of Freiburg. Indium has a silver-white colour, is soft, and marks paper like lead. The metal is related to aluminium, and its spectrum exhibits two characteristic lines, one violet and another blue.

Chemical symbol In. Grayish-white minor metal obtained by treating smelter flue dusts and slags or other residue of base metal concentrates. Capable of marking paper (just as lead does), indium is used in low-melting alloys, solders,electrical contact coatings,infrared detectors,nuclear reactor control rods, and various electonic components.
