Abstract
An atomic emission spectrometer includes an induction coupled plasma generator and a detector system for detecting the radiation relative to spectral wavelength. A first mirror is on the longitudinal axis of the generator to receive axial radiation therefrom. A second mirror is disposed laterally from the generator so as to reflect radial radiation therefrom parallel to the longitudinal axis toward a third mirror disposed laterally from the longitudinal axis. The third mirror passes the radiation to a fourth mirror positioned adjacent to the axial radiation without interfering therewith so as to reflect the radial radiation to the first mirror. The first mirror is rotated to a first orientation to reflect the axial radiation into the detector system, or to a second orientation to reflect the radial radiation into the detector system.
