Aston mass spectrograph experimental setup. Passed through slits. Electric field Ions deflected Magnetic field Ions separated according to m/z Condition of focusing
𝜃 : mean angle of deviation of beam in electric
∅ : mean angle of deviation of beam in magnetic fields d𝜃 : be dispersion angle due to electric field d∅ : be the convergence angle due to magnetic field a : distance between Electric field and magnetic field b : distance between magnetic field and photographic plate ADVANTAGES All the particles having the same value of e/m are focused at a single point, so the intensities of lines of plate are large. The intensities of a line in mass spectrum is proportional to total no. of particles of that mass. Hence a rough idea of various isotopes of elements can be made.
The mass scale is generally not linear.
Owing to the polarisation of electrodes of electric field, the traces are not quite straight but slightly curved.
It is used for investigation of Isotopes.
