We use optical emission spectroscopy (OEP) to provide fast and accurate
elemental analysis of metals. The system is also referred to as emission spectroscopy and spark emission
spectroscopy.
With OES, atoms in a sample are excited by energy that comes from a spark formed
between the sample
|
and an electrode. The spark’s energy causes the electrons in the sample to emit light, which is converted into a spectral pattern. By measuring the intensity of the peaks in the spectrum, we can produce qualitative and quantitative analysis of the metal with uncompromising accuracy. |
