Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer:

Having learnt about the necessary components of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer let us now learn about the various types of atomic absorption spectrophotometers. It is pertinent to described here in which the atomic and molecular absorption spectrometries are quite same in principle and instrumentation; the radiation source and the sample holder being variant. Let us learn about the two kinds of atomic absorption spectrophotometers given below.

• Single beam atomic absorption spectrophotometer
• Double beam atomic absorption spectrophotometer
