Abstract

See full text

A spectroanalytical system includes housing structure with vent structure open to the atmosphere; radiation dispersing apparatus in the housing structure for dispersing radiation into a spectrum for application to sensor apparatus; sample excitation apparatus for exciting sample material to be analyzed to spectroemissive levels for generating a beam of radiation for dispersion by the dispersing structure; a source of gas; structure for flowing gas from the source into the housing structure for exhaust from the housing structure through the vent structure at a flow rate that is less than one percent of the volume of the housing structure per hour; first control structure for maintaining the pressure of the gas in the housing structure at a constant (within about one millibar) pressure independent of atmospheric pressure; and second control structure for maintaining the temperature of the gas within the housing structure constant within about 0.1.degree. F. during system operation.
