Atomic absorption spectrophotometer

An atomic absorption spectrophotometer, comprising:

• an atomization unit provided with a tube-like furnace and configured to atomize a sample injected into the furnace by heating the sample;
• a light source configured to emit light of a wavelength of a measurement target toward the atomization unit so that the light passes through the furnace;
• a detector configured to detect the light passed through the furnace;
• an optical system configured to guide the light of the wavelength of the measurement target among the light from the furnace to the detector;
• a camera configured to capture an image of an inside of the furnace before performing a measurement process in which the sample is atomized in the furnace to measure absorbance of an atomized sample;
• a measurement data storage unit configured to store a measurement data obtained by performing the measurement process;
• a captured image data storage unit configured to store a captured image data obtained by capturing an image by the camera in association with the measurement data which is stored by the measurement data storage unit and is corresponding to the captured image data;
• and
• a captured image data organization unit configured to determine whether or not the measurement data obtained by the detector in the measurement process is normal and delete the captured image data captured by the camera immediately before the measurement process on normal measurement data from the captured image data storage unit.
