Atomic absorption photospectrometry

Atomic absorption photospectrometry is a popular, accurate, spectro analytical method that allows for the quantitative determination of chemical elements in compounds and mixtures. The methodology is based on the interactions between atomized elements and radiation at various energy levels that reveal their identity. Operational principles, scientific background, applications and alternatives are discussed in detail in this course.
