SPECIFICATIONS Function principle The ARL 3460 Metals Analyzer is a simultaneous Quantometer. This means the instrument measures the intensity of several spectral lines simultaneously in the light emitted by the sample, when the atoms that compose it are exited by an external energy source. The analysed light is located approximately into the 150nm to 800nm wavelength range. -
