Interior view of the power supply of a Bendix Corporation Knudsen Cell Inlet System. Inlet systems are typically used to introduce samples into a mass spectrometer's ion source for analysis. The Knudsen Cell Inlet System allowed for rapid quantitative determinations of molecular weights and heats of vaporization, as well as qualitative determinations of molecular species in gas phase.
