About the Cover:

Atomic emission spectroscopy - past and present. The line drawing is a sketch of an early spectroscope with a Bunsen burner as an emission source. The photographs show a modern atomic emission spectrometer and its emission source, an inductively coupled plasma. Atomic emission spectroscopy was the featured topic of the 10th Waters Symposium held at Pittcon in March 1999. Papers based on this symposium can be found on pages 573-607.
