Abstract

For less than $5 and with very little effort, one can make a temperature monitor for flameless atomic absorption work which will measure temperatures above 1000°C fairly precisely. With simple modifications, temperatures down to about 750°C can be measured or automatic monitoring via chart recording can be done.
