5 Questions
Which method is typically used for scanning in magnetic sector analysers?
Magnetic scanning
What happens to the relative abundances of ions in a mass spectrum when voltage scanning is used?
The relative abundances decrease as the mass increases
What is the purpose of the collector slit in a mass spectrometer?
To allow ions of all m/e values to pass through
What type of detector is commonly used in modern mass spectrometers?
Electron multiplier
Which ions are deflected more in a magnetic sector analyser?
Ions of larger mass
Test your knowledge on ion analysis in magnetic sector analysers and learn about the principles behind mass spectrometry. Explore the relationship between ion mass and deflection in a magnetic field, and understand the options for scanning voltage or magnetic field to obtain a mass spectrum.
