Abstract
A detailed description is given of a device which is capable of increasing the effective resolving power of a mass spectrometer. An improvement in resolution by a factor of eight has been achieved. The design is based on a general analog technique for improving the resolution of analytical instruments. The device, which can be regarded as a resolving-power multiplier, consists of an electronic analog mass spectrometer connected to memory and feedback circuits. Fully resolved spectra are displayed on the screen of an oscilloscope. Information sufficient for the design, construction, adjustment, and operation of similar systems is given. Results obtained with experimental resolving-power multipliers are described.Keywords
