Re: Hg vapor detection

See: http://www.lumexint.com/product/ra915.shtml for the Lumex 
instrument and  http://www.hg-nic.com/english/emp-1a.html for the 
Nippon Instruments unit (that looks like a uv spectrophotometer type) 
and http://www.tekran.com/products/ambient/2537.aspx for Tekran. Most 
of us know AZI/Jerome.

Does anybody have or know of someone with experience using the Lumex 
or Nippon Instruments units?
