Abstract

A three stage mass spectrometer, utilizing two consecutive magnetic focusing lenses of 20" radius followed by a 20" radius of curvature electrostatic analyzer, is described. An abundance sensitivity of 10¹⁰ was measured for this instrument in the low mass region. Application of this instrument to analytical and research problems in the field of mass spectrometry and results obtained are discussed.
