The variable length, six-electrode plasma source for atomic
emission spectroscopy described here is operated from three
compact, simple, and inexpensive direct current power supplies. The
vertical arcs formed between the three electrode pairs completely
entrain the sample and are typically operated at 40 V and 20 A.
Three concentric quartz...
