a molten liquid conduit;
a nebulizer assembly operably coupled to the molten liquid conduit and adapted to receive, from the molten liquid conduit, a high-melting-point liquid; wherein the nebulizer assembly is further adapted to aerosolize at least a portion of the high-melting-point liquid received from the molten liquid conduit, and wherein the nebulizer assembly further comprises
a heater,
a nebulizer, contained within the heater, and including a first fluid vessel in which the nebulizer is adapted to aerosolize the at least a portion of the high-melting-point liquid received from the molten liquid conduit, and
an evacuator, contained within the heater, and including a second fluid vessel adapted to receive, from the molten liquid conduit, the high-melting-point liquid, the second fluid vessel being operably coupled to the first fluid vessel of the nebulizer; and
one or more instruments operably coupled to the nebulizer assembly and adapted to receive the aerosolized high-melting-point liquid from the nebulizer,
