Atomic Spectrometry Update—Instrumentation

Abstract

This review describes developments in all aspects of atomic spectroscopic instrumentation reported in the Atomic Spectrometry Update References in JAAS, Volume 2 (87/638–87/2105) and Volume 3 (88/1–88/769). Thus it follows the review published last year (J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 1987, 2, 79R). The full references, names and addresses of authors can be readily found from the Atomic Spectrometry Update References in the relevant issues of JAAS, however, as an additional service to readers an abbreviated form of each literature reference quoted (except for those to Conference Proceedings) is given at the end of the review. Comments as to possible improvements in future reviews are always welcome.
