    Abstract: In a mass spectrometer having an ion gun 10 for directing an ion beam onto the surface of a sample 12, so that said sample 12 emits secondary ions, having a detector 18 for the secondary ions and directing means 20a, 25a, for directing the secondary ions onto the detector, a specific energy bandwidth can be defined on the basis of the energy distribution of the secondary ions with respect to the maximum of the energy distribution. The energy region of the mass spectrometer which can be analysed can be expanded, according to the invention, to at least double the specific energy bandwidth by means of expansion devices which are coupled to the directing means. Using the expansion devices, the pass bandwidth of an energy filter belonging to the directing means can be enlarged in that the resolution and the mean energy of the pass band are increased. The expansion means can also increase the maximum energy of a quadrupole mass filter which can be analysed, especially by modifying the length of the electrode elements of the mass filter and/or by modifying the frequency of an alternating voltage which is supplied to these electrode elements.

    Abstract: In an analyzing apparatus for use in analyzing a surface of an object by the use of Auger electrons resulting from impingement of an electron beam, outer and inner cylindrical electrode members are placed to define outer and inner rooms, respectively, and have a common cylindrical axis. The outer and the inner rooms have first outer and first inner ends adjacent to the object, respectively, and second outer and second inner ends remote from the object, respectively. An electron gun is operable to radiate the electron beam and is entered at least partly in the outer room with an electron gun axis noncoincident with the common cylinder axis. The electron gun axis and the common cylinder axis form a predetermined angle. An ion gun is also entered at least partly in the outer room with an ion gun axis noncoincident with the electron gun axis. Various kinds of detectors may be placed in the inner room.
