Abstract:
An ICP emission spectrometer is schematically configured to include an inductively coupled plasma generation unit, a light condensing unit, a spectroscope, a detector, and a controller. The detector includes a photomultiplier and has a detector controller and an input unit. The photomultiplier has voltage dividing resistors, which make an amplification factor not to become constant immediately due to a change in an application voltage applied to the photomultiplier, but the detector controller controls an idle voltage and an idle voltage application time so that a multiplication factor becomes constant, during a period from when analysis conditions are input to the input unit in advance until a sample containing an analysis-targeted element is introduced into the inductively coupled plasma generation unit.
