From Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc.

Introducing examples of analysis by ICP emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS), and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDX) of lead (Pb) in a lead-free solder sample (candidate standard NMIJ CRM 8202-a) that is used for proficiency testing by the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.

UV and Visible Spectrometers
UV and visible spectrometers measure the amount of ultraviolet (UV) and visible light transmitted or absorbed by a sample placed in the spectrometer.
Spectrometers
Spectrometers are analytical instruments which disperse an emission (such as particles or radiation) according to some property of the emission (such as mass or energy) in order to measure the amount of the dispersion. This product area includes Portable / Miniature, visible, infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), atomic absorption (AA), optical emission (OE), Raman, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and mass spectrometers. Specific search forms are also available.
X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometers
X-ray fluorescence spectrometers (XRFs) use a spectroscopic technique that is commonly used with solids, in which X-rays are used to excite a sample and generate secondary X-rays. 
Fluorometers
Fluorometers measure the amount of fluorescent radiation produced by a sample exposed to monochromatic radiation.
