Abstract
An atomization unit has a tube-shaped furnace, and heats and atomizes a sample injected into the furnace. A light source unit emits light having a wavelength to be measured toward the atomization unit such that light passes through the furnace. An optical system transmits the light having the wavelength to be measured, of light passing through the furnace. A detection unit detects the light transmitted by the optical system. A light transmission plate is provided at a position in an optical path of the light passing through the furnace toward the detection unit, to obliquely cross an optical axis of the light. An image capturing unit is arranged outside the optical path, and captures an image inside the furnace by receiving light reflected by the light transmission plate, of the light passing through the furnace.
