Evaluation of a Multichannel Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometer Modified to Minimize and Correct Scattered Light Effects

Abstract
In a study of an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer, data from an early commercially available instrument are compared with data from the same instrument after modifications to correct observed inadequacies. Results show negligible changes in powers of detection but considerable reductions in scattered light interferences following the installation of a holographic grating.
