Abstract
In a procedure for recording ion-cyclotron resonance spectra or an apparatus for carrying out the procedure, gaseous ions of a sample substance in an ultrahigh vacuum are simultaneously exposed to a constant magnetic field B.sub.O and to a high frequency field which is perpendicular to it, with resonances being excited when the frequency of the alternating field corresponds to the rotational frequency of the ions which move on circular paths in the constant magnetic field. To produce gaseous ions of the sample substance, the latter is bombarded with additional gaseous, high-energy ions of a primary substance. The primary ions are produced in the measuring cell by means of an electron beam and excited to a high energy level by means of ion-cyclotron resonance (FIG. 2).
