Diagram of a Bendix Corporation Model 843A Direct Inlet System with view of assorted component parts, including a crucible, filament, vacuum system header, and sample probe. Inlet systems are typically used to introduce samples into a mass spectrometer's ion source for analysis. The Model 843A Direct Inlet System was designed for high sensitivity analysis of solids at temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius and was widely used for identification and structure studies of organic compounds, particularly small samples.
