X-ray spectroscopy provides a unique and powerful new avenue of investigation for the study of a wide range of astrophysical sources. Discrete X-ray line diagnostics can be used to provide unambiguous measurements of temperatures, densities, excitation conditions, ionization balance and elemental abundances. Many of these techniques have already been employed in the analysis and interpretation of data acquired by the grating experiments on Chandra and XMM-Newton, especially at soft-X-ray energies. This field is still in its infancy. There are undoubtedly many surprises yet to come.
