| Abstract: | I review a number of diagnostic techniques, based upon the excitation and variability of astrophysical masers, which can be applied to dense gas. In each case, I consider the observations necessary and the amount of interpretation, or modelling, required to complete the analysis of a source, presenting examples of each diagnostic method. |
