The plasma light is split into two beam channels and broken down into several wavebands like the colors of a rainbow
In the first beam channel light-sensitive electronic components known as CCD line sensors record the entire spectrum of the sample.
The second beam channel produces time-resolved measurements of individual spectral lines--adjusted so that the instrument can distinguish between light emitted by te plasma
As a result we only require a single beam channel and thus a single optical unit says Brockherde.

the table is one piece of furniture that has remained largely the same for thousands of years. But now, a French design duo has come up with a way to turn the humble table into a means of climate control that doesn't use any electricity.
Paris-based industrial designer Jean-Sébastien Lagrange teamed up with French engineer Raphaël Ménard to create the Zero Energy Furniture table, also known as the ZEF Climatic Table.
The ZEF table looks like any other with the sleek design of a solid plank oak top
and angled legs but it could hold the secret to cutting energy costs by as much as 60%.
and energy issues on a furniture scale, Lagrange told WIRED. Beneath the oak table are a series of phase-changing materials (PCMS) placed between the wood
and anodized aluminum bottom. The materials soften when the surrounding room reaches around 71 degrees,
That means the table is essentially working like a hermal sponge as Lagrange and Ménard put it,
According to the inventors, the table has the potential to reduce heating needs by as much as 60%and cooling demands by as much as 30,
the ZEF Climatic Table is most useful. For example if a room heats up on a sunny day and then the temperature drops at night,
the ZEF table would make the climate in that room more consistent. The ZEF table works best in rooms that undergo significant temperature changes frequently.
It would also be best in parts of the world where air conditioning is either undesirable like in parts of Europe where it thought to cause illnesses or unattainable.
it would be fighting the ZEF table and using more energy instead of less. Lagrange and Ménard are planning more Zero Energy Furniture in the future.
The pair told WIRED that they are looking into home goods as well as lighting designs in their next project
