ICP-FTS. a new analytical tool. Potentials and problems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6244630
Many new sources and spectrometers have been developed in the ongoing effort to improve multielement analysis by analytical atomic emission spectroscopy. Currently several different laboratories are exploring applications of Fourier transform spectrometry in the ultraviolet and visible spectral regions, especially in conjunction with the inductively coupled plasma source. As a multiplex technique, Fourier transform spectrometry has many characteristics which are unique and significantly different from wavelength dispersive spectrometry. These characteristics offer both potentials and problems for the development of ICP-FTS as a new analytical tool. Examples from research in this laboratory are used to illustrate and discuss these points. 29 refs., 7 figs., 5 tabs.
