Abstract

On the basis of some theoretical considerations concerning the analyzability of elements that have their resonance lines in the vacuum ultraviolet, a hollow-cathode light source of new design has been tested in connection with a vacuum spectrograph. The results, which show an improvement over those reported in the literature, are tabulated. The limit of detectability under the given conditions was at 0.01 μg iodine.
