Problems solved by technology

However, the lamp is large in size, high in cost, high in power consumption, complex in structure, and needs to consume a large amount of rare gas, so the cost is high

More importantly, the windowless structural design not only allows the ions and metastable neutral molecules generated by the discharge to enter the ionization region and undergo ion-molecule reactions with the sample, but also the sample gas in the ionization region will return to the discharge region. And cause the discharge spectrum line to be impure
