A system for multielement flame emission analysis based on a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer is described and evaluated. Detection limits and linearity of response for ten elements commonly determined by flame photometry compare favorably to conventional single-element methods. Analyses for several elements in tap water, serum, urine, NBS SRM 1571 orchard leaves and low alloy steel demonstrate the excellent accuracy and precision of the technique. Resolution of the system allows up to five elements to be determined simultaneously.
