Sharla Clemenson performs atomic emission and absorption
Summary
Sharla Clemenson performs atomic emission and absorption tests on mercury samples with a charge coupled detector. The atomic emission excites the atoms in plasma and makes it emit a photon of light that will travel up its characteristic wavelength. The reciprocal technique, atomic absorption, generates a mercury light of all mercury wavelengths. The sample will be put through the CCD and the measurement of mercury light that is emitted will be recorded. Clemenson is a chemist with the 72nd Civil Engineering Directorate Environmental Lab mainly working with the mercury samples. (U.S. Air Force photo/Kelly White)
