Graham McIntosh and an Inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer ICP-OES used for multi-element analysis by measuring the intensity of emitted light at the wavelengths specific for each element.

Graham McIntosh and a Perkin Elmer (PE) Optima ICP-OES used for multi-element analysis by measuring the intensity of emitted light at the wavelengths specific for each element. The temperature of the argon plasma is so high that it atomizes compounds in aqueous samples at temperatures near to the temperature of the surface of the sun.
