Features
Glow Discharge Source Advantages
- Simple, linear calibrations when compared to other sources
- Controlled excitation that occurs away from the sample surface
- Reduced reference material consumption
Detection System Advantages
- The inherent sensitivity, dynamic range and linearity of CCD detectors coupled with the GD source ensures stability, flexibility, and performance for all bulk elemental applications
- Full wavelength coverage from 160 nm to 460 nm
- 50 pm (0.050 nm) resolution to differentiate even the most complex features of bulk spectra
System Level User Advantages
