Inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer configuration in which the entrance slit is aligned with the main plasma axis.
Notes: - The large amount of light captured in this method, includes information from the sample of interest plus background, which can be considerable.
- Matrix interferences, which originate in the cooler plasma tail, can degrade precision and accuracy.
