An atomic absorption spectrophotometer is disclosed in which, in order to detect the temperature of a graphite cuvette correctly on the basis of the radiation emitted from the inner wall of the graphite cuvette, the above radiation and the measuring light emitted from a hollow cathode lamp are both taken out by the same optical members, and then the radiation is separated from the measuring light, to be detected and used for measuring the temperature of the graphite cuvette.

A spectrophotometric analyzer disclosed by this invention has two monochromators capable of operating independently of each other. In each monochromator, a light beam from a light source is made to be incident on an entrance slit, and, after dispersed and wavelength scanned, issued from an exit slit as an analyzed light beam. These analyzed light beams are detected by detectors. The entrance slits and the exit slits of the two monochromators are disposed rotation symmetrically. This can simplify the operation of switching between a series mode where the analyzed light from the exit slit of the one monochromator is made to be incident on the entrance slit of the other monochromator and a parallel mode where the both monochromators operate for detection independently from each other.

A spectral source comprises a lamp containing an anode and a cathode in an inert gas. The anode and cathode are different in shape and connected to a high-frequency power source to produce a high-frequency discharge between the anode and cathode to cause both sputtering of the cathode and excitation of a radiation having the spectrum according to the material sputtered from the cathode. The application of solely high-frequency power prevents adherence of the sputtered material to the interior walls of the lamp bulb thereby allowing a reduction of the dimensions of the lamp bulb, prolongating the life time of the lamp and increasing the stability and intensity of the radiation. A magnetic field may be applied to the radiation for Zeeman modulation. Due to the relatively small dimensions of the lamp bulb, relatively small and inexpensive magnets may be used.

A plasma ion mass spectrometer capable of improving detection accuracy in mass spectrometry by reducing background noise due to ultraviolet radiation and neutral particles, and a plasma ion mass spectrometry using the same. A sample is ionized with plasma in a plasma generating portion. The flow of the ionized sample is shielded by a shield plate after an elapse of a specified time, and ions of the sample accumulated before the shielding is held in an ion trap type mass spectrometric portion for a specified time. The ions of the sample held for the specified time are then subjected to mass spectrometry. During ions of the sample accumulated before the shielding are held, ultraviolet radiation mixed with the ions of the sample disappears, and thereby only ions of the sample can be subjected to mass spectrometry. As a result, background noise is reduced, to improve detection accuracy in mass spectrometry.

An atomic absorption spectrophotometer includes a sample-atomizing portion for ashing and atomizing a sample, a power source operable to supply electric current to the sample-atomizing portion, a controller for controlling the operation of the power source, a pair of pressure regulators for setting a flow rate of an inert gas according to an ashing step and an atomization step in the sample-atomizing portion, a pair of movable valves respectively provided downstream of and connected to the pair of pressure regulators, and a filter device provided between the pair of movable valves and the sample-atomizing portion. Either of the pair of movable valves is activated into open or closed condition in synchronism with the operation of the power source so as to select the flow rate of the inert gas into the sample-atomizing portion. An electromagnetic shut-off valve for use in the atomic absorption spectrophotometer includes a valve housing having a valve chamber, and a movable valve body housed in the valve chamber. The movable valve body is movable between open and closed positions so as to open and close a gas flow line. The wall of the valve chamber is coated with a non-metallic material.

In atomic absorption spectrophotometers such as Zeeman atomic absorption spectrophotometer, the present invention is characterized in that the correction timing of background absorption in sample light is made to coincide with that of reference light so as to improve the accuracy of the output signals of the spectrophotometer. To accomplish this object, the present invention constitutes a calculation processing unit for storing and calculating signals by means for separating one signal consisting of sample signals and reference signals applied thereto from amplification means for amplifiying photoelectrically converted signals into sample and reference signals, and storing them, means for calculating respectively the mean values of two time adjacent signals of one of the sample and reference signals to prepare a signal of the mean values, and means for calculating the difference of the logarithmic converted values of the signals of the other of the sample and reference signals and those of the signals of the signal of the mean values at the same points of time, and obtaining correction signals of background absorption.
摘要:
A double polarized light beam spectrophotometer of a light-source modulation type. A modulated light beam emitted by a light source is conducted through specimen atom vapor generated by a graphite atomizer. Wavelength of light undergone atom absorption is selected and spatially separated into a pair of linearly polarized light beams perpendicular to each other. The pair of the linearly polarized light beams separated are alternately passed through a chopper and received by a photoelectric conversion device to be converted into electric signals which are utilized for determining atomic absorption of the specimen. The phase of modulation of light radiated from the light source is synchronized with phase of a current supplied to the graphite atomizer for heating thereof and the switching timing of the chopper.
