Preferred Label : observation space;
Detailed label : observation space in flame emission and absorption spectrometry;
IUPAC definition : The intersection of the optical beam and that part of the flame where the net signal
is at least half of the maximum net signal. The characteristics of the observation
space depend on the temperature of the flame, the stoichiometry of the gases and the
properties of the processed fluid (presence of proteins for instance). The observation
space in atomic absorption is analogous to the observation space of a cuvette in molecular
absorption spectrometry.;
