Ionisation
|
1st stage in mass spectrometry. Atom is ionised by knocking one or more electrons off atom to create a positive ion.
|
|
|
Acceleration
|
2nd stage in mass spectrometry. Ions are accelerated so they all have the same kinetic energy.
|
|
|
Deflection
|
3rd stage in mass spectrometry. Ions defected by magnetic field. The lighter the atom, the more deflection and vice versa. The higher the charge, the higher deflection and vice versa.
|
|
|
Detection
|
Beam of ions detected electrically.
