Abstract:
A grating spectrometer has been designed and built which allows extremely rapid scanning rates (over 200 A/ microsec) over a wide spectral range (4000-11,000 A) in one order with a theoretical resolving power of approximately 6000. The basic principles of the instrument are described together with some spectra (taken at speeds of approximately 90 A/microsec) illustrating its capabilities.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
