Atomic fluorescence spectrometer:

The equipment used is same to which used within atomic absorption experiment, except in which the detector is put in a position perpendicular to that of the incident radiation. A block diagram displaying different components and their associative arrangement is given in Figure (a) while a schematic representation of the spectrometer is given in Figure (b).
