Glow Discharge Source Advantages  Simple, linear calibrations when compared to other sources  Controlled excitation that occurs away from the sample surface  Reduced reference material consumption 

Detection System Advantages  The inherent sensitivity,dynamic range and linearity of CCD detectors coupled with the GD source ensures stability, flexibility, and performance for all bulk elemental applications  Full wavelength coverage from 160 nm to 460 nm  50 pm (0.050 nm) resolution to differentiate even the most complex features of bulk spectra 

System Level User Advantages  Very easy to operate, maintain, and service  Automatic cleaning between samples saves time, minimizes matrix effects for increased precision  Open lamp design and ambidextrous controls allow both right and left hand operation
