Abstract: Virtual simulation experiment has the characteristics of immersive, interactive and imaginative. It can make people immerse in it, like being in the situation. It is easy to form a multidimensional information environment with interactive efficiency. The course of instrumental analysis has the characteristics of difficult explanation of principle, complex operation of instruments and few sets of sets. Virtual simulation technology has a significant application advantage in the course of instrumental analysis. It can not only break the traditional teaching methods, but also solve many problems existing in the experimental teaching in colleges and universities. This paper discusses the characteristics of virtual simulation technology and its application in optical instruments, electrical instruments, chromatographic instruments and other instruments in instrumental analysis course, and prospects the prospect of virtual simulation technology.

Key words: Virtual simulation, Instrument analysis, Application
