<p>Added some thoughts of mine</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>*I don’t know if it’s been done, not seeing too many papers, but here’s an idea I’ve been thinking of:<br /> **”Laser Induced Flame Emission Spectra Spectroscopy of Thin Layer Chromatography Plates”<br /> **BUT…on the cheap-(-ish)<br /> **Most of the quantitative methods use [[Mass Spectrometry]] and other expensive systems <br /> **While these work great there is that major valley between the quantitative “it looks like this” and knowing what chemicals are in each square micron etc<br /> **Using a mashed together hybrid of a [[Lab Bot]] and a [[Diode Laser Cutter]] , as well as a [[Spectrometer]] (such as the inexpensive [[Raspberry Pi Camera Spectrometer]] you could MAYBE get SOME specific quantitative data<br /> ***Would basically subtract the laser’s energy/wavelength from whatever is in the flame then see what you get<br /> *Granted it may be too chaotic and the sensor too primitive to get data, but worth a try and document all the things and whatnot!<br /> <br /> --[[User:Eric|Eric]] ([[User talk:Eric|talk]]) 20:49, 27 September 2024 (UTC)</div>
