Electron Ionisation
The sample being analysed is vaporised and then high energy electrons are fired at it. The high energy electrons come from an ‘electron gun’ which is a hot wire filament with a current running through it that emits electrons.This usually knocks off only one electron from each particle, forming a 1+ ion.
