Working Principle

The ESICO 1381 Microprocessor Flame Photometer operates on the principle of flame emission spectroscopy, following a precise sequence of operations:

1. Sample Aspiration - The solution is drawn through the atomizer via controlled air pressure
2. Mixture Formation - Air, sample, and fuel are combined in the mixing chamber
3. Flame Atomization - The mixture is sprayed as a fine mist into the flame where elements are excited
4. Spectral Emission - Each element (Na, K, Ca, Li) emits characteristic wavelengths of light
5. Wavelength Isolation - Narrow band interference filters isolate the specific wavelength for each element
6. Detection - A photodiode sensor captures the intensity of the filtered light
7. Signal Processing - The microcontroller applies calibration curves to the photodiode output
8. Result Display - Final concentration values are shown directly on the digital LED display
