    Considering that emission spectroscopy has been part of chemical analysis at least since since Kirchoff and Bunsen in the 1860s, no reasonable size bibliography is complete. Here are some of the authors' favorite citations. ICP focuses on books available through Amazon.com. Non-ICP topics point to the primary literature.

    An excellent on-line resource for learning how to specify and use optical components may be found at Melles Griot. Other online resources include Newport Optical and Jobin Yvon. The last of these lists many CCD cameras that compete with e.g. Andor Technologies and numerous other competitors. Listing of specific commercial links does not imply advocacy by the authors, does not imply preference for linked products vs. other, unlinked products, does not imply servicability of any product for any application, and does not imply endorsement by the authors' employers.
