Notes: * = the widths of the entrance and exit slits. † = the interval in nanometers between each of the calculation points in Mode 2, or the calculation window (in nanometers) that constitutes the single "point" in Mode 5. Alk = the sheath gas flow is increased from 0.15-0.2 to 0.8 L/min for analysis of these elements.
